Thinking Personally

Cutter's Log - Supplemental

I saw an old friend of mine at Shell not too long ago. She was my middle school crush. She, like many other of my classmates from Sterling HS went away to better pastures (Augie, then WIU). I was probably more of a thorn on her side than anything, but we've since gotten older and used our past in a fun way. I still loved her in a way throughout high school, and we hadn't seen each other since we graduated. That got me thinking just a little bit about a love life.

Then while I'm following the Little League World Series, that got me thinking about another girl(s) that I loved. One of which I haven't seen since she graduated from RF, another I have seen off and on, but not since she left school. Another went away.

Yes, my past loves have stayed away from Sterling and Rock Falls (and thus me) for quite some time.

I can never get them back. They've moved on. I've moved further backward.

It's time I start moving forward.
