does anyone else remember the first person to give them the yummy tingle of crush-dom?

i'd had crushes from the time i entered school, but brian was the first one that made me think i was in love. he had bushy blonde hair, was a good athlete, and couldn't possibly care less that i existed. but one day, he came up to me at a school recital and asked how i was doing. i couldn't even say anything back to him. to this day, i get sweet butterflies when i think of him - and i still remember his phone number (though all i did was hang up whenever someone would answer).

shit was so much simpler then... i liked this boy simply because of who he was. didn't care about his salary, education, or car (for the record, i still don't) - and i have no doubts that my understanding and ability to express love then was much purer than it is now. puppy love my ass... i bet that right now there's a ten year old girl somewhere who could teach us all a thing or two about love.

think back... when'd you get your first taste?
