A Year Later......

It's hard to believe that it was over a year ago that it all began......

It was the third time I saw you, but I was still feeling a little uneasy around you. I wasn't quite sure how to act or what to say, but the day had been wonderful. It must have been 9 or 10pm when it was time to part, and at that point I really was kind of nervous. I had promised you a hug, but it was something rather foreign to me, and I had no idea how to go about doing it. But in the end, I managed to work up the courage to deliver my promise. It was a little awkward to me, but it was a great feeling I will never forget.

And that night, you made me cry for the first time.

A year later, there's nothing I want more than to be able to hug you again. And if I had the opportunity, I know I would cry again.

It must have been around this time last year that this friendship developed into something more. (Or perhaps I was clueless for way too long and didn't start to see it until then.) But this time around, you seem to be miles and miles away......
