Well, let’s be honest –I don’t remember if he ever said “hello”! This was many decades ago. I have written about him twice on my blog. I attached those links below. Why are there still lingering memories of the music he played on the strings of my heart? We’ve moved on a long time ago. Today we love each other from a different place. No more butterflies, weak knees, or hearts pounding. The last time we kissed, mucho years ago, it didn’t even feel right. The romance has long gone, but we genuinely care and love each other. My first crush –my first love.

I must add, there is something about first love. He made me feel more special than the rest. Made me laugh and want to cry all in the same minute. My little pre-teen heart made somersaults when he came by. We talked a lot– about everything and nothing. I don’t think his love interests favored me (nor mine him). We were a mystery; always together but yet separate. If the walls of our high school could talk, it would tell of the good times we had. Subconsciously, we somehow knew we were not the best fit for each other. Two different worlds one might say. So, we stayed friends. Today, time and distance have separated us. Once in a while we connect to check on each other. We are the forever friends. How our hearts remain connected over 40 years still remains a mystery. But then- Who truly understands the affairs of the heart?
