As I got off the cab just now, I realised that my neighbour, Jack, is getting married. Ribbons adorned his red car.
I'm feeling just abit of regret and loss now.
Jack is my first crush, and it was a BIG one. He stays two houses away from me.
I had the crush on him when I was in Cedar Girls and he was in ACJC.
And then one fine day while walking our dogs, we walked past each other and he said hi to me. (There's another story behind this, he saw me rescuing a sparrow.) But I was so surprised and flustered then, didn't know how to react, and IGNORED him. He never tried to talk to me since then.
I totally regretted ignoring him since that day itself but I didn't know how to remedy it. And by the time I grew up and stopped being so shy, it's too late. We have been treating each other as air for years.
He went into NUS medicine and became a doctor. I think his gf/wife-to-be is a doctor too.
Hai... I'll always wonder how things would turn out if I wasn't so shy then? There's always the possibility we could have been great friends and grow up together. How different things could be....
