Scary. I used to fancy this girl in high school but really thought was way above me. My friend (and most of the guys at school) got the hots for her. When my friend courted her, I even did the love letter that won her over. funny because I was just really expressing myself in that one. things that never in my wildest dreams I can say to her directly at that time.

When I came back after college, she was already married and has a child. We got a chance to talk on one school homecoming, and I guess i just told her casually that i used to dream about castles and kingdoms and hideaways in which she was by my side as my princess.
I never really expected the tears and the sad response. All those times she was only waiting. Of course nothing happened. But those were the times that I always thought maybe if I haven’t been too coward or felt too inferior. Maybe …

i guess I belong to the category of the chap you’re talking about.

Man, it’s my first post here and i’m talking like hell already.

Hi Rey!
Our stories are scary! What a coincidence! This guy’s friend also courted me, he even served as the ‘bridge’.
The only difference is I don’t have a child yet. We are about to have our homecoming next year. I’m avoiding him like a plague because I’ve long considered the chapter close. It will also make both our lives more complicated.
Thanks for the insight. It made me see the other perspective. But I guess, there’s no use in having a conversation with the guy. We both know what transpired before and the implications now.
I guess Julia Robert’s character in My Bestfriend’s Wedding said it right - ‘When you love somebody you say it out loud, or the moment passes you by…’
