Dear E.H

I remember when we first met in 6th grade, my best friend introduced you as her boyfriend. 

To be honest, from that first time we met i liked you. A lot. I new it was wrong but i couldn't help it, the heart wants what the heart wants. 

So i stayed away liked a good friend should, but couldn't stop from noticing you small smiles you would send me, or the the way you would get jittery when you were nervous, or how you loved to run in track. I couldn't help but notice you. Even after you and my friend had broken up, i stayed away. Even after you asked me out, i stayed away.

 So many times i imagined what our dates could have been like, but i was always stuck on one. 

That we would go to our once a year carnival, go on the biggest rides while you held my hand, walk around with pink cotton candy, play balloon darts trying to win one of the stuffed animals, and ending the night with my sweet first kiss after you had walked me home.

 But i knew and know that not all dreams come true. 

Still to this day i have not had my first kiss. And i think it's because i still secretly wish that it was you who would take my first kiss, so every-time a guy has asked me out, i have turned them down. I guess i'm still holding on to an impossible dream of my "Perfect Date".
