I finally asked her out...and she said yes !

Okay so it actually happened in a dream. Okay some of you may say how incredibly sad this is, but damnit it was my dream !

So I'm now 36 years old...whew...but last night I had a dream that I asked out the girl of my dreams... no hollywood starlet or super-model...better than that, the girl I fell for when I was a mere 12 year-old kid.

It wasn't a crush, I had a couple of those over the years, the first time I saw her I knew she was the most beautiful girl I had seen or will ever see in my lifetime. When we actually met it was even better, we dug eachother (well that is my recollection) but in my masterpiece of social ineptitude, I never said the things I should have and we never progressed passed the confusion of adolescence...not so much as a date or even a damn kiss.

I'm not 100% sure why I'm blogging this (Odds are if you think this topic is lame, then you have already stopped reading by now.)

My best guess... no strike that, I know that the 12 year-old boy inside me still loves that girl and will until (hopefully) as an old man I draw my final breath. And if I'm lucky between now and then I'll finally get the chance to tell her what that little boy was too scared to.

Back to the dream...was quite simple, I went to a place where she worked (not the actual place) and there she was, yeah the heart went pitter-patter even in my sleep. She looked at me the way she did when we were kids, I gathered myself and asked her out, she smiled as if to say finally and then we kissed...it was so nice I stole another one and then woke up as happy as I've been in ages.

The 12 year-old still dreams...
