theres this guy i was in love with since childhood. He was one of the smartest, deepest people i have ever met. We got on really well but while I was completely in love with him he didn't feel the same way. Then at the end of year 7, he moved to qld. (I know we are talking really young here, but you can't control these things. I am adamant that I loved him, as much as unrequited love can be love) And I didn't see him again until last year when we met up by chance at the YAA national awards night function in syd. And it was so bizarre, i was going up the escalator and I heard someone playing the piano. And I thought of him, for some unknown reason. Then I got off... and it was him. I couldn't believe it. So it was really weird seeing him again and stuff and he didn't recognise me at first because i've changed a lot since then but then we had a bit of a chat and stuff and it was all good. Then that night at the hotel, I was out talking with one of my friends on the balcony at about 2 in the morning. And someone from above yelled out to us. And it was him! so I went up there with my friends - coz we all know him - and talked about random things till about 6 in the morning. And yeah, it was so weird... I gained this sense of... well I don't know, but it was weird. I feel like somehow, we are connected and our futures will intertwine again. And so yeah, it was a very surreal experience. Brought back a lot of strange feelings. And yeah thats my story. I think that unrequited love is one of the most painful things in the world, but its almost like a rite of passage. It makes you value the real thing
