"You're in my heart you're in my soul......you'll be my prayer should I grow old......you are my lover.....you're my best friend.....you're in my soul"......................................................................I heard that song on my way home from work tonight.
It took me back to high school......................back to when I was a young, innocent, shy girl.........................and there was this guy..................president of the national honor society, president of his class, starting quarter back of the football team, star of the track and wrestling team.............intelligent, nice, good looking, funny...............................and there he was asking me out on a date...................me telling him "no" because I was afraid I wasn't good enough......................him saying "you'll go"........he wasn't being cocky...........he was being encouraging.....................................and I did go...................................and we ended up going on many many dates......... but it was never exclusive or serious......... he would sing that song to me................. I fell head over heels in love with him...........I loved him so much it hurt..............but that's not something I would have shared with him.........because I knew he didn't feel the same way. We had fun together. I shared my future dreams with him, and he didn't laugh. He encouraged me. I encouraged him.
Then he fell head over heels in love with a girl a year older than I.......................and my heart was severely bruised. I cried so many tears I could have flooded a city.
After high school he left on a full scholarship to Cornell University. I was over him by then, and figured I'd never see him again.....................but I was wrong......
He showed up at my house once and we went for a ride on his motorcycle......&....we talked.................he brought up my dreams I'd shared with him. I was touched that he remembered..........
He's a good guy.
A productive man who has over come many obstacles................................................................
When I heard that song today I thought of him and I smiled.
