its been 5 years since senior prom. believe it or not, Im still good friends with the girl i took to highschool prom. she's a year younger and went to another university and is now graduating.
i enjoyed her company at the prom, but at that time i was stupid and really liked this other girl. now after several years of talking to my prom date online and on the phone, Ive grown to have quite a fondness for her.
there were times when i was real crazy about her too...and thats ridiculous because there was absolutely no physical interaction. (long distance remember?) i think i fell in love with her personality, and her intellect, and i never knew that was possible.
it wasnt that fun all those years. the more i was attached to her, the more I felt pain. the yearning of having physical contact was at times unbearable. On top of that, i was the guy she went to when she had boyfriend troubles...for all her boyfriends during college.
well..i rode it out eventually. it took a few girls on my part to realize that there were alot of other amazing women out there.
well..as luck will have it, she will most likely be getting a job in my city after she graduates this year. i see a long road of unknown joys and pain ahead.
it looks like fate really does bring people together.
