I'm eight years older than him, and I felt like the whole world was saying it could never work.
He was 22, fresh out of college, with eyes bright enough to fear no heat.
I'd been in a relationship for four years, and in the end all that was left was broken glass.
He'd never been through anything, yet he dared to do everything.
He would blush when he secretly looked at me. Standing behind me, his palm would sweat as he held the mouse. On rainy days, he would run all the way back through the rain just to borrow me an umbrella.
He did everything people do when they like someone.
I did everything I could to pretend I didn't know.
It took two timid fools four years to dare say, "Long time no see."
