Love. Or So I Thought..

We were high school sweet-hearts. I hadn’t seen him in ten years. We bumped into each other at the cafe down the street and our eyes locked in a stare. His eyes were the bluest I’ve ever seen and in them I saw the love I had been looking for my entire life.

Where had he been for so long? Why hadn’t I had the courage to call him? I thought.

“Oh my God!” he said, “Heather?!”
“Uhhh…” That’s all i could say. I can’t even remember my name! “Yeah! I’m Heather.. And you’re Shawn! Umm… How have you been?”

I totally just made a fool out of myself. How could I have been so dumb? He just makes me so nervous, the world disappears behind him and he is all I can see.

“I’ve been good. You know? I’ve been happily married for the past 6 years,” he replies.

Oh great. He’s married. I should have known, he’s gorgeous! Now what do I say?

“Awesome! Yeah, I’m still single. Hah.”
“Oh. Well, you’ll find someone.”

But I thought that someone was you! AAHHHH !!!!
