Anonymous Id like to tell you about a boy I once loved. We were 9th grade science lab partners. He was so dreamy, popular, and played goalie on the school soccer team. I liked him so much more than a friend and he kissed me once on Christmas Eve. You can say he was my first crush. Life was so simple and innocent then. He walked me home from school on days he didnt have practice. We also wrote sweet love notes to each other. I loved how he folded them into a paper crane and passed it to me between classes. To me, I felt like he was my first boyfriend but to him I was merely just a friend. It seemed we were in each others life for only a short while. In that short time, each morning was filled with anticipation and excitement to see him at school. I found courage coming from places I didnt know I had within me. We held hands and were happy. We had fun playing at the arcade and walking at the park on weekends. He was the first person Id ever said I love you to. Second year he met a girl and after a short few months of dating her, they got married. My heart broke every day because I knew he had met the girl of his dreams. Before he married her, he told me Id still always be his best friend and that Im going to make one guy the most happiest in all the world. That was the first time I cried in front of him. People told me I needed to move on, so I transferred schools. After graduation I went onto college and left our small little town. When my little sister got married I returned home. He and his wife came to the wedding. He didnt recognize me-- or maybe he forgot who I was he asked my sister who I was. I replied, Im paper crane. In that moment he smiled and then he said, Its been a long time. Just like that, my heart felt like thousand paper cuts. In that moment I could feel my breath getting faster and my heart trembling in fear... fear that he could feel the aching in my heart. I think he could see the twinkling in my eye start to form a tear and so I said, Much too long. and then he and his wife walked away. People say time heals everything. Im sure it does. I once thought folding 1000 paper cranes Id get my wish. I know it has come true. Hes happy.
