*Note: Thank gods we don't keep in touch.

For starter, my first crush was a girl...
Back in kindergarten...

Yeah, I'm queer by birth.

My 5-year-old memories are too blurry for me to correctly tell you my first crush story. So I'm just gonna go ahead with everything my mind can reach.

She and I have been best friends for  3 years in the kindergarten. Since we could pronounce our name, figuratively saying. She was the cutest girl there, so most of the boys liked her and teased her a lot. That was when it came to me, to protect her from the boys. I was her knight in shining armor.
Or in another words, her more chubbier friend in milk-stained PJ.

I actually didn't realize my feeling until junior high, when I started to rethink about my past. And that's when her image came back, flooded my mind.

She was really cute indeed... Her eyes were ones that truly left an impression on me. They were big and clear, those puppy dark brown eyes...

I remember the last time we talk. Before second grade, if my mind isn't deceiving me right now. Her mom was a tailor, and my mom came to her place with me to ask for a dress. We were playing, I mean I was watching her play Audition. We chatted for a while, school, boys, stuffs like that. And then she let me play for a round. Mom called, and I had to go back home. Did we have a hug?

I haven't mentioned or heard someone mentioning her since. Until a couple of months ago. Her grandparents were old neighbors of my family, my mom met her grandma and they had a small talk. Now I don't recall specifically what they said, but my mom told me that my first crush had moved to Saigon, studying high school there. According to her grandma, she didn't have much friend here in Hanoi when she were studying in primary and junior high. But when she moved to the South, she became more social and had more friends.
Her grandma also added that she still very pretty.

Out lives kinda in sync though. We didn't have much friend in the past and started to change in high school. Although I didn't have to move anywhere.
I hope she's having a great time there. Well, she's pretty since childhood, it won't be a surprise for me if she has already had a boyfriend or some sorts.

Puppy dark brown eyes, huh...
