I know it’s so hopeless romantic of me, but I’ve always found the idea of childhood sweethearts really sweet. Though I was very young when I had my first boyfriend and I never considered him to be my first and last, I still ask myself what if..
So, I felt, somehow, envious when I attended a reunion and learned that two of my grade school classmates got married. The sweet part is that they were both very quiet, well maybe compared to me, and they were both very shy that I couldn’t imagine their courting days, but of course, that’s already none of my business, right?
The thing is.. I was sincerely happy for them. They look so good and happy together. They were actually neighbors when we were young. Then, the guy studied somewhere else in high school. I didn’t ask how they met again, but probably because they were former neighbors, it wasn’t at all impossible for their paths to cross again. I was surprised, yes, but happy kind of surprised and I started to think how it feels to be married to someone you’ve known all your life, how fun it is to talk about people you both knew and events you both attended way back then..
Happily married as I am to my wonderful husband, I would, surely, never know how it feels. However it is, I’m simply happy for those who have married their childhood sweethearts.
