My junior year of high school, I had my first “serious crush.” He was in the grade above me, and a real sweetheart. We connected well, and I was literally overwhelmed with happiness whenever I talked to him. We’ll call him Gobble, mostly because I think that’d be a funny name for a kid.

That was YEARS ago. 

This past Christmas break, Gobble asked me if I would want to hang out. I was all like, “Yeah, of course! Haven’t seen you in FOR-EV-AH!!” You see, he and I have a lot of mutual friends, and so I had bumped into him a couple times since he graduated. We agreed to see the movie Broken. However, a few hours before he sent a text saying he was called into work. Okay. That’s that. I was partially relieved and partially disappointed. But then I was surprised when I received this text:

“Hey, I know this is possibly the lamest way to do this on the planet but I wish I could have told you face to face but Merc I really have feelings for you and I have for a long long time. And over most of this time I believe you have liked me too at least a little bit. I guess the only thing in my mind that has been holding me back for so long is I truly believe that I’m not good enough for you. Its not that I think I’m a bad guy its just you are so perfect and sweet and innocent that I feel I would just be corrupting you. Not saying that I’m corrupt or anything its just I feel that I’ll can’t be me around you without you either thinking poorly of me or it affecting you. You truly are as close to perfect one can be I know you don’t believe me but, ya are. Now that the while Christmas vacation has shot by I just wanted to say this to you some how so I tried in person but my new job doesn’t really allow for me to live most of the time so I just wanted to let you know that’s how I feel. I really like you merc I just wanted to let you know how I feel.”
