| Hello Mr Bee ! |
Ever get one of those friend requests on social media and you're not sure if it was a genuine request or one of those algorithm things because you have friends in common or because you went to the same school?
Yeah...I got one of those. However, this request was from a guy I dated in high school. Actually the only guy I really dated in high school. I was sort of shocked and confused at the same time. Did he really send me a friend request? Did he really remember me? Or was it sent to me because we went to the same school? I had no idea.
Until today. He actually messaged me personally to confirm the said request. Wow! And I was shocked that he still remembered me as it was so long ago. And of course, I accepted his request and we proceeded to have a lovely on-line chat to catch up.
He was my first love. My first serious boyfriend. My first so many things. He was "my first". If you know what I mean. And apparently I too was his first love. And he has strong memories of our time and certain specifics that still to this day he has not forgotten. My goodness. I thought only girls did that sort of thing. I thought it was a "my first love" kind of thing that only girls talked about or put in their memory book. I guess guys remember this shit too.
It was so lovely to have this chat, to know that he remembered our time together and that it had meant something to him too in those crazy days of high school when we were trying to figure shit out and head into the college years and adulthood. Which we both agree the whole adult life is not quite what we expected. There should be a class preparation on that sort of thing in high school don't ya think?
Regardless, it was a lovely moment to catch up, reminisce and to learn, after all these years, I too was loved way back in high school. When it means so much when you are living in those young and dumb years, but as time goes on you learn that there is more life and love beyond those innocent and sometimes not so innocent years. (ahem). However, as goofy as I was, and as short as our relationship was, I had meant something to him and he had not forgotten about it. And that meant so much to me after all this time. Not that I was holding my breath or anything and I had always remembered him but it's always good to know that you made an impact on someone and had given them something to cherish.
Not a bad way to spend a hot afternoon staying inside of my home with the AC pumping away chatting away on line. Made my heart happy to reconnect and know that our time together really was something.
Until next time...elizinashe
