R We Dancer?

A holla from a crush from waybackwhen invoked a smile.

Nothing ever happened between us. I was so shy back then, even more so with someone i admired. We never even became proper friends- yes, thats how shy i was.

Which is why the slightest thing he does can invoke a smile from me, even now, years later.

We're such funny characters, us human beings. We tend to reserve a special place for the ones that we mould in our memories as great people. The kind we usually label as 'the one who got away'. And thats precisely why we do it. Because we know so little about the pitfalls of that particular person, we make up a story around the scratchless surface of that person's image to us. Throughout the years we grow fond of that memory and stash it away. And that person becomes 'special' to us. For no better reason than the fact that for a few stolen moments, he/she showed us an unblemished mirror to the good side.

And the people we do know. The ones we get to know. They become humanised. Because we've seen their bad sad. We've gotten angry, hurt, dissapointed by them. We see so much of our own darkness reflected in them. They become mere mortals, just like you and i. And so we neglect them. Their humanity makes them inferior, or at least on par with you, and that aura of idoltry weakens.

But we argue, to make it seem better, that we love a person only when we know every inch, every facet. That only then, is it true love.

I think i've yet to seen love then.
