This is my life, my only best,
As it has always been, my treasure chest,
There are no keys, maps or tests,
At the bottom of the sea it will rest.

I am not a man of wisdom,
Making sense so very seldom,
Kindness for me is just too random,
It only exists in a far away kingdom.

‘Take off the mask’ sounds familiar,
So very subtle pointing me a liar,
Rage and ego came very eager,
Growling, roaring like a hungry tiger.

It started out back in 1992, we were both in Ms. Little’s kindergarten class at Briarwood Elementary School. That is where we were first introduced to each other.
One of my memories of that year is during show and tell. Her dad brought this huge snake to class and everyone got to pet it. Anywayz all throughout elementary school I had a crush on her but never told her. At the sametime she liked me and was very open about it by her actions. I acted as if I didnt notice her by paying close to no ounce of attention period. That turned her away of course and so we left elementary school without keeping in touch.
I had seen her once over the middle school years at a baseball field in my old neighborhood. My friend and I were riding bikes and we saw a lot of people out there so yeah we were nosey to find out who all was there and I seen her and talked for awhile but nothing really major.
