THIS IS A SHORT STORY OF MY LIFE THAT REALLY HAPPENED....
Every boy has that one girl that has always fantasize about being with. She was just that girl....and no matter how hard I try to forget her, she always reappears. I met her at the age of 7, my friends introduced us and like kids we would play together. Hide and go seek seemed to be the one we resorted to the most though. I have always been afraid of being alone because I grew up with a lot of siblings therefore I was use to having someone with me. As my friend counted down for us to run, I hesitated and everyone ran off. Then I remember feeling a warm gentle hand, she grabbed me and we started running off to hide. And that is where my love for her began. I wasn't ever the attractive boy, and. I had very low self esteem before and was always picked on. I never had the courage to tell her that I liked her...and I realize it was too late when one day I went to play and found out that her next door neighbor had moved away....
I was still a young boy, and did not fully understood feelings I was sad but moved on. She still lingered deep down in my heart somewhere though, maybe it was because she was my first love..... Middle school came about, and that's when I saw her again. A few years has gone by now but she still looks like I remembered her too. My first instincts were to approach her and greet her and as I was nearing in, she looked at me strangely then walked away. I was hurt, did she not recognize me? We played together for a whole summer, but maybe I was the only one that could never forget her. She was an outstanding athlete, her favorite sports were hockey and volleyball though and I would sit through her games and cheer her on...One day after the game was over I made up my mind and built up all my courage to talk to her and as I walked up I saw her holding hands with a boy. MY heart sank, I quickly turned around and headed out. He was one of the popular boy in the school, he was short and cute and every girl practically loved him. I then realize I had no chance to be with her, such a beautiful face with a normal boy like me. In the final year of middle school, I have went through the dating scene but none lasted more than 3months. In my heart somehow, I always wanted her to be with me, it was a unrequited one-sided love story. But when i walk pass her in the hall ways; she always has these looks in his eyes that make me think that maybe she wants to talk to me too. I decided that I would be happy, I would live happy and never think of her again.. I would move on. Well it finally came my chance to get away from her, I wanted to stop seeing her. I decided to go to a high school further away from home and in that way I was able to avoid her all together. I went happily away to this high school; i made a lot of great friends and even dated. Again nothing lasted more than 3 months, I was considered cold-hearted by the boys I abandoned. 2 years into that high school, I decided i needed to go back to the high school near home. I didn't want to admit that the real reason i wanted to go back was to see her.
Finally I was close to her again, yet it seemed that she still hasn't notice me. I was so happy she was in my math class, I finally have a chance to talk to her. So one day I decided to sit next to her. We finally had a conversation going, and turns out she did remember me. She always been meaning to talk to me but thought I was being a snob and ignoring her. I was so happy that night when i got home that i couldn't go to sleep, I couldn't wait to see her the next day...When I came the next day she wasn't in class, I figured she was sick. So i waited the next day, and the next day turned into a week and a week turned into a month...Then I found out that she and her family has moved out of the country, her father had landed a job in the states...
I missed my opportunity to ever be with her, all because I was too shy.
Never let your love get away, you'll regret it for the rest of your life. Don't wait, just go for it. A moment of embarrassment is better than a life time of regret. And like dust in the wind, she was gone…
