The first thing said was “I always knew” followed by “why did we never hook up?”

I attended Pride in Ferndale, Michigan this year. It was a sunny fun filled day. We walked along the streets until our feet were tired; running into friends and saying our hello’s.
Just as the day for us was ending and we were about to throw in the towel I looked up into the distance and could not believe my eyes. There she was, the girl I always had a crush on in high school standing in a crowd at the end of the block. My knees went weak and my heart felt like it was going to come out of my chest.
I told my friends “be right back” and tore off to her just to say hello. When I got in front of her she turned to face me and almost fell over. Instant hugs abounded and we were both doing the “oh my god” to each other. It was like a high school reunion.
We stood there and talked for what felt like an hour but was more like fifteen minutes as our peeps slowly made their way over to us to wait. The first thing said was “I always knew” followed by “why did we never hook up?”
When our friends started grumbling we decided to exchange numbers so we could move onto our adventures at hand. I never expected a call and apparently neither did she but I think we probably called each other at almost the same time the next morning.
We met for lunch and were there for four hours. We have met several more times and are now “dating.” This feels so right and yet in school we would probably never have approached each other in this way. It has been twenty two years since we were in school and a lot has changed for both of us and for society.
I am so happy that we are back together as friends (and maybe more) and I wanted to share this story with all who may have or had this happen to them.
Peace and Love
