My wannabe summer romance

Well as many of my loyal readers know, this young woman started working at the sushi place I go to in around June or so. As the Summer went on, her and I got to know each other, always making plans that fell through, and just cheering each other up when we sensed something was wrong.

Well tonight was her last night there, before she went back to school, and she told me last night that her b-day was in Sept…so I decided to get her a little going away/b-day gift…incense sticks, a new incense burner since she said she likes that, and she’s kind of a hippy, since she loves candy some gummy bears, I made her a CD and got her a card too…

When I gave it to her at the end of the night, she was shocked and said something that MADE my summer

“I wish any of my past boyfriends treated me as good as you, and were as sweet as you”

she gave me a hug, then I asked “so why didn’t we get to go out this summer?” and she said how her school was far, which it kinda is :/

Ok I feel like a huge dork taking chances like this, but life’s nothing without taking chances.

Anyway

She said she’d visit me at work sometime before she officially left for college, but I don’t wanna get my hopes up…Right now I just feel privileged to have a friend like her in my life. We always knew how to cheer each other up, could talk for hours, and just shared so much in common with respect to music, which to me is very important.

So in the end…I didn’t get the girl..but I made a new friend who I can count on

And thus my friends…concludes my summer love.

Shannon, if you somehow find this hope you have a great vacation with your family, and hope you have fun at college. You’re an amazing woman who can do a lot of good for the world.
