Birthday Shuffle Year V - Day Eight - Here I Am (Come and Take Me)

I can still him standing in the kitchen, making us dinner...

UL3 (unrequited love #3).

This song was playing in the background.

He was so cool.  He was so confident.

He was so out of my league,

but I fantasized about a relationship with him anyway.

And, he was a friend... one that would make me dinner

and hang out

and tease

and always remain just out of reach.

Years later I saw him again for the first time

and, I realized that he had not aged well,

and while I am not someone to ever judge someone on their looks,

seriously, what happened?

But this song takes me back to the college him

and the college me

and the lust that comes with youthful fancy.
