My Childhood Crush doesn't remember who I am.

He had brown eyes

and a wistful smile

I liked him because he was built like a grey hound

and I am built like

a whippet

So it just made sense

because we both loved to run

But he was very shy.

And I wasn't built like that for some reason.

I am quiet though, but that is not same as being shy.

Apparently I scared him

with my wit

and speed

and charm

and he ran away from me

Except at recess when he would pass me the soccer ball

and I would help him score a goal

.

.

.

I love being me even it sometimes it is scary.

Even if I was made by a chemist

Even if I have jaguar blood in my veins

It's okay

to be scared,
