High school was such crap. I worshipped a goddess from afar, thinking she was way out of my league (you know where this is going). Never asked her out for a date. Found out from a friend of hers years later that she fancied me as well. Go figure. All that time and neither one of us told the other how we felt. One of those unfathomable mysteries of the universe, how we bang about ceaselessly in the dark...feeling our way cluelessly, stumbling around without sense.
