Her First Crush

There is an old an well-heard saying that you never get over your first love. Is that true even for "the first infatuation/crush"??

Well 6 years ago it was when she believed that "the first impression is the best impression" and a little feeling cropped up in her heart... how can someone be like this?? perfect.. well at least almost perfect... responsible, smart, attractive, intelligent, energetic, humorous, sensitive... name it and he has had the quality... at least that is what she thought... from the minute he spoke to her she was highly impressed.. it was obviously a child admiring the qualities of a mature adult... but she was mature too.. she knew what it was.. her first crush.. a little late by normal standards.. but that is what it was.. she enjoyed talking to him.. cracking a joke.. learning from him.. or just being around him.. and then he left.. she dint know where...

What she felt was a feeling that most would say wouldn't last more than a couple of months... and she... pinned her heart and kept it safe...

And a few years later he was back..

Six years later... even now.. when she sees him... her heart races... a flush of embarrassment.. and she still insists that its a childish infatuation.. six years is by no mean standards a short term...

Is it but just a childish infatuation??? Um.. i guess so... a strong one though... she never denies the strong and positive feeling she felt.. she of course still likes him.. a person whose qualities she appreciates.. ask her about him.. and you'll still find her blushing.... may be its true.. that it doesn't really have to be love.. but she still remembers it all.. probably for all her life.. because it was special.. her first thrill of emotion to have liked someone... or is it because he was so special??? that i guess is a question which even she will be unable to answer...

Isn't that what most call a sweet and innocent first crush???
