I have been thinking about a long lost crush from high school recently, she pops up in my thoughts every once in a while. I met her in grade 10 back in 1984 in french class if memory serves correct.
Our paths crossed again in the mid 1990s in our mid twenties and we spent a lot of time together. Unfortunately, the happy ending did not happen, I was crazy in love, she was thinking "just friends" and I think you can piece together what happened next.
We last talked in the spring of 1997 at a party a month or two before I joined Carlson Marketing, it was one of those awkward conversations, I think she wanted to know what I was up to and not gone off the deep end.
We last crossed paths I think in 2001 on Lakeshore Rd. in downtown Oakville, we didn't speak.
As far as I know Tracy is married with two kids living in Guelph. I know what you, the blog reader is thinking, "Do you you want to see her again Bill?"
My reply, there is a quote I remember from somewhere but I can't attribute it, "Sometimes a prayer answered is going to give you a lot more grief than a prayer unanswered."
Something akin to being careful what you wish for. Through wisdom and a few relationships later, the realization is that high school crushes rarely come together regardless if it could be a plot to a John Cusack movie.
Right now the only thing I'm wishing for is my job search to bear some fruit, preferably with something resembling a dental plan attached. Long lost crushes can stay lost.
Well from that more innocent age, how about some David Bowie from Let's Dance.
