We met at the bus stop on the first day of school. Mark lived a few houses past my house from the bus stop, and we quickly became friends, and every day after school we would walk home together and stop by my mailbox and flirt, I mean chat. I moved away and we lost contact, :( then we reconnect in high school, :) then I moved and we lost contact again . :( Then we reconnected my senior year of high school :) and dated pretty much all year, but then I left for college and we broke up. :( and though we both ended up in other relationships, we stayed friends through the years. 12 years after we dated the first time, we both ended up being single at the same time. Mark called me up and told me he wasn't going to say anything if I was happy, but now that I'm single it turns out he's loved me this whole time, I should come back to Michigan and we should try to make it work. So I did...and we did! <3
