You know how every girl has that special guy friend- not the gay guy friend, but the best guy friend who will hold her hand through anything that life seems to throw at her and comfort her even when she is blubbering like a fool about what happened the day before or that Friday night before the weekend. The guy that catches all their tears?
Well, I had one that did just that. He caught me when I fell and wiped away my tears and listened to me even when I was just blubbering away at something that happened before or during the weekend. He was always there for me more than anyone else that I had ever known. And come to find out, he was in love with me. He had the biggest crush on me since he had first seen me in 7th grade.
But truth be told, I loved him in return. Sure I had little crushes on other guys, but it was different with him. He saw me as who I was, beautiful, intelligent, talented, creative, and funny.
We dated different people during high school and when he moved, I felt an empty spot grow in my chest, but I didn't know what it was from. I didn't know that he had moved. Even though we were distant in school from 9th to 12th grade, we always kept an eye on each other.
Then one day- February 14th/15th, 2011- I came across his picture on Facebook and I said "Oh my God! It's Eric!" Suddenly, the thought of his high school girlfriend came into mind and I was really hesitant about adding him, but I did. And I am so glad and lucky that I did. :)
