Catherine

I often remember a girl named Catherine. During my high school days, I’ve always longed for the moment when I can say my true feelings for her. But I was the nerdy type, and she probably wouldn’t mingle with me, let alone giving me a chance to share an intimate moment with me. So I stayed from a distance, keeping this secret love with me until the end. I always freeze when she’s in front of me – she’s the only girl who can do that. No one else.

I sent her letters and cards to let her know what I feel during those times. She did wrote back actually, and in that one letter she told me that I have to grow and mature. She was right. I was still a “kid” that time, playful, and maybe not really ready for a relationship. I had to grow. At the prom, I had the guts to dance with her, and told her that I will grow just as she wanted.

She just sent me a message last week in Friendster. I told her that I regret not being able to see her during my vacation last December. She told me I should have. I’m sure I’ll freeze again when I see her. She is in a relationship right now and it’s just sad that it is too late for me now.

She will always have a special place in my heart.
