This photo wasn’t taken by me, it was taken by a girl that I was sweet on during my time in high school. To our one friends at the time, he had thought that I didn’t notice this girl until after I had met him. In fact, I had noticed her in grade 9 orientation. She reminded me of a chipmunk and was head over heels for her during all of grade 9. This girl confused the living hell out of me and I couldn’t tell if my feelings were matched by her, or if she thought I was weird, or if at times if just she hated my guts. Honestly, there were times she was a total headache, but I look back on even those memories fondly wishing I could maybe relive them once more. It’s surprising how much you can change.

Now and again I look back on the things between us and think maybe there was a time for us away back when, maybe if I had been a little bit more straightforward and not let my pride get in the way, or if I had not been scared of my own feelings, things may have been different. But who knows, it’s not for me to say really. I can only factor my thoughts into it.

This photo was taken by her, the last time we met, and we haven’t met again since.
