Oh, Mr. Cat T-shirted Christmas Sweater Wearing Music Junkie Indie Looking Mister Sir

 

 I remember you, and the girlish childish crush I had on you.

You showed off in roller skates and looked back at me and I felt blood running to my cheeks.

You tried to include me in games and I scored a touch down in football- you couldn't catch me.

You corrected my Beatles miss-written song lyrics in my status.

You complimented my jacket that one time.

I beamed from ear to ear.

I remember running into you at the music store and I was freaking out.

 

Then, I didn't see you.

I got over my crush.

And we didn't talk.

 

But then I saw you working in Publix a year or two ago.

No longer a fourteen/fifteen year old but an eighteen/nineteen year old.

Grown and different,

with my hair in a braid.

And we talked a little.

But I didn't think much of it.

 

But today, I'm wondering about you.

 

It seems like you are still a music junkie.

You still got that boyish face and big grin.

You seem like a little Indie kid, but not a kid, an adult.

It's funny because I don't know you anymore.

But you don't seem to have strayed far from who you once were.

At least you don't look like you have.

And me.

Well,

I don't know if I am who I thought I would be.

I think I'm more than I thought I would be.

And, not in a bragging sense.

It's just I guess I really had no idea where I'd be in life.

I didn't have much of an idea or direction.

And I didn't really give my talents credit.

I think I just floated as a mere teen concentrating on finishing school

and as the typical fourteen/fifteen year old I was, I concentrated on surviving crushes.

It was really a ridiculous crush.

I didn't even know you that well.
I still don't even know you that well.

But somebody remembered me crushing on you, and that made me remember you.

 

I hope you're doing well,

 just like I wish that for whoever I recall from my past.

 

I guess I feel endeared to people I once knew.

Even if things ended rocky, or they ended on good terms.

Every interaction helped built me.

And I hope you're doing well.
