nikki (1996 - 1999)

You were brash at first. It was probably your defense mechanism.

But we became friends, quickly. Lounging in Eaton’s on the recliners.

I wonder why you haven’t friended me on Facebook.

nicholas (1992 - 1996)

I teased you about your chin. It was a mean thing to do.

I think at this point in my life I realized that words really can hurt someone.

I’m sorry.

brett (1992)

Then: My sixth grade crush.

Now: My twenty-six year old crush.

Later: Let’s just see how you look tonight before I crush on you for next sixty-seven years of my life.

jamie (circa 1984)

A blonde headed little boy with a bowl cut living in my neighbourhood.

We were friends. Then you moved. Haven’t seen you since.

I sometimes think I might actually marry you.
