Mysterious No More

D was my longest crush.

In my 12 years in SJS I had a lot of crushes but this guy never left the number one spot. From Grade 3 to senior year in highschool, I was infatuated with him. During our elementary days, he was considered a hunk. Girls adored him. For the usual reasons. Good in basketball. Tall. Big Eyes. Even the boys in our batch thought him cool. Even when he had already left to attend highschool in an all-boys school and I haven't see him since our elementary graduation, my crush for him didn't wane. Even in college, I was still daydreaming about him.

He was an enigma, and had remained as one. I didn't and couldn't know why I was so attracted to him then. So whenever I go back to my hometown, I would ask my SJS batchmates that if ever they meet him to please tell him that I was looking for him to ask him out on a date. I dunno if they took me seriously. But I was. Serious. A date with him would unravel all the mystery, I thought. I wanted to get to know him better.

But then just recently, I found him in friendster! Nope, he isn't a friend yet. Haven't said hi yet. Nor planning to. Not that I haven't overcome my shyness. I realized I lost interest already because he was mystery no more. And the small things I learned about him were big enough to put a period to the long time search.

It hit me.

He was better a mystery.
