Write about your first crush.

I may have been 16 years old. He was 19. I had feelings for him that shook me to my core. I didn’t know how to express them. I do not remember how they came to his attention but they did. He was experienced. A hard worker & responsible. I was impressed but had no clue that there was a table to bring anything to. I only wanted to talk with him about anything in peace just him & me. It eventually happened. Several times. We spent most of that time on the phone. He was so calm & cool. He had a mind of his own & participated in our friendship. He was thoughtful. He left quite an impression on me. We did eventually go our separate ways on good terms … so much so that when my last son was born I named him after me (male version of my middle name) & him (his middle name). He knows!
