Missing the Great "Miss"
I'll never forget the day I first saw "a dream walking." Her name was Blaze the Cat. Her smile, which sparkled beneath two twinkling eyes, was electric and made people who received it(especially guy people) feel very special.
While her physical beauty was astounding, it was her invisible beauty I shall always remember. She really cared about other people and was an extremely talented listener. Her sense of humor could brighten your entire day and her wise words were exactly were always exactly what you wanted to hear. She was not only admired but also genuinely respected by members of both sexes. With everything in the world to be conceited about, she was extremely humble,
Needless to say, she was every guy's dream. Especially mine. I got to walk her to her house once a day, and once I even got to eat ice cream with her all by myself. I felt on the top of the world.
I would think, "If only I could have a girlfriend like Blaze, I'd never even look at another female." But I figured that someone this outstanding was probably dating someone far better than me.
So when I moved out of town, I said farewell to my first big crush.
A year later, I met one of her friends, Marine the Racoon, in a shopping center and we had lunch together. With a lump in my throat, I asked how Blaze was doing.
"Well, she got over you, mate," was the reply.
"What are you talking about?" I asked.
"You were really cruel to her the way you led her on, always walking her to her house and making her think you were interested. Do you remember the time when you had some kinda ice cream lunch with her? Well, she stayed by the phone the entire weekend. She was sure you were going to ask her out, mate."
I was so afraid of rejection, I never risk letting her know how I felt. Suppose I had asked her out and she'd said no? What's the worst thing that could have happened? I wouldn't have had a date with her. Well, guess what? I DIDN'T HAVE A DATE WITH HER ANYHOW! What makes it worst is that I probably could have.
