unrequited love

This post is about chances left untaken. Feelings left unspoken.

If by any chance someone knows Jennifer Wheeler, from Midland Michigan, please show her this page. Thank you.

This post is dedicated to you Jen.

There is not a day that goes by that you are not in my thoughts. I am haunted by the memory of your smile and the light that always seemed to catch in your eyes. By the sound of your voice and the golden tresses of your hair...

I fell in love with you while we were still in Kindergarten. Do you remember how I "protected" you from the "alligators" in the playground?

I always said one day I would marry you, but I never told you.

I was too shy to tell you how I felt as we grew older. Too shy and too awkward. I came so close to asking you to go to the school carnival with me. I should have, but was so afraid that you would have said no. I went alone, just for the hope of seeing you there.

Then came the day you left. Your dad got a job in another state. I remember that day well, how hard I cried. My tears were selfish. They were for what what wasn't but what could have been. I never gave myself the chance to talk with you. I wonder if you too cried. Not for me, but because you had to leave your friends and all you knew behind you.

Then, during High School, you magically came back into my life. It wasn't like before though. You hardly knew I existed anymore. Yet every day I walked out of my way just to casually pass you in the hall, just so I could smile and say hi. It was all I dared.

High School came to an end and I never saw you again. Yet I am still in love with you even today. I missed my chance with you and I regret that.

You are married now, and I hope it is a happy marriage. You deserve someone who will make you happy.

Who am I? No one important, as I truly don't think we will ever see each other again.

Just... know that wherever you are, there is someone out here who loves you and prays for your happiness.

I love you Jenny. I always Will.
