Goldfish remembers
(This is a Jarreed blog. When this guy and I broke up, I had too much pride that I never ever wanted him to know I was writing about him this way. I wrote this blog for myself one day and did not intend to publish it. Tonight though, that the pride is gone, I can only go back to these memories. No more bitterness. No more romance. Just memories.)
Do you still read my blogs, Jarreed? If you do, I want you to know, that this one, one day in the past, I wrote for you.

I remember...
You were the only kid I was intellectually interested in. You were the only boy who ever beat me in academic performance. Back then, it was me, you, sidney and joy. It seemed like all the others were just fleeting personalities in case any one of us four slips. The proud achiever that I was, I was academically-secure...except with you.
I remember...
You were the brilliant kid who was also irritatingly playful. I think what attracted me to you was the fact that you were brilliant without even trying. And yes, you are my first love.
I remember...
We were in third grade. It was still the time when girls would hate boys and vice-versa. We had to conform with the norms. As a matter of fact, I conformed so gracefully that i managed to beat you up one time. I have always been that tough.
I remember...
We met during Sundays in the arcades and exchanged game tokens. It was Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles that I have always busied myself with.
I remember...
The rain poured one Sunday and I couldn't make it to our rendezvous. I came the next Sunday but you weren't there. The next Sunday came and still no sign of you. The next time I saw you was through a computer, 9-10 years later.
I remember...
I remember you.
