Sarah is one of the people I most regret not getting to know
better, she’s amazing. I met her through
the Fasse family and when I hung out with them is pretty much the only time I
got to see her, that’s my fault obviously because I should’ve taken initiative
and gotten her number or tried to like walk her to her locker which was always
a good move in high school, but whatever.
No need to dwell on the past I guess.
She is pretty dang awesome
though.
I didn’t see Sarah enough to create some great memory with
her, but there is one memory of her that I have which pretty much just reminded
me why I’ve always liked her. I was at a
Fasse graduation party with my family and, since she’s good friends with
Ericka, Sarah is there too. The party
was fun, a lot of party games like flip cup were played and what not, but
amidst the good times being had there was this one moment which I wouldn’t be
surprised she can’t remember, a moment that I won’t forget. A small group of us were in the kitchen,
chatting and what not, when Sarah walks in, her beautiful smile on her face,
but underneath it she looks sad. I asked
her if everything was okay, she said it was, but I could tell she was just
saying that to keep her troubles to herself.
Maybe it was the booze, maybe I just wanted to make a sad girl smile
even if it was only for a moment, I don’t know but I decided that I had to do
something. I smiled at her, took in her
beauty, and said “You look amazing.” I’d
been thinking it all night, it had been the first time I’d seen her in a while
and she just looked stunning. I don’t
think she expected that, because the next thing I knew she was hugging me…
I probably can’t do this memory justice, it may sound lame
to anyone reading this, but there are people who I have had in my life for
years who I haven’t had that sincere of a moment with. It may be one of my shortest, but my memory
with Sarah is also one of my favorites.
Writing this just made me miss her, let’s be honest. It has been too long since I’ve seen her, and
I don’t really know what her life is like at all right now, but I hope she’s
happy. She’s going to do great things in
her life, and whoever ends up with her is going to be amongst the luckiest of
men.
Cheers,
Andrew
