33 plus years ago, I walked into my 8th grade homeroom. I was greeted with a smile, that touched my soul. I was too shy to start up a conversation. I always wondered what could have been. Now, after all these years of waiting in the wings, I finally had the nerve to tell her about the crush. This sparked a relationship as friends. She became the person that I could talk to, and confide in. On August 13, 2022, I will be marrying my forever crush.
