Years ago I fell in love with a boy next door. He did not know I even existed we were preteens and our parents were combatants of lifes aggressive battle of survival. I knew he was out of reach but I hoped he would eventually like me in time. As the years went by my dream guy became a handsome young man but he was definitely not interested in me. I looked like my father's side of the family who came from far away countries and I was odd person out at school.

How do I get to change my fate and have my dreams become true is not easy to say in a few choice sentences but a epic tale at least for me it is... I get my man and live happily ever after but wait there's another girl like a fly in my ointment. She was the pesky head girl at school.

She did win and I dated and married someone else but if I could go back in time to that silly girl I was I would tell her dont cry over someone who has no taste in life don't waist years waiting in anguish and jealousy because you will find the right person. Sometimes I think of him and wishing I was his choice but now as life is getting on I realize I am my own choice...
