Calculations


Written by Beth



I look back on my life as it has been and notice a pattern....

My first crush, I didn't ask him out for seven years. He said he wanted to be just friends and told me that he was in trouble with the Mob, that he didn't want to endanger my life with getting closer to me.

I heard a year later that he was married, a girl with a kid already. She must be very brave...


My second crush, I waited only five years this time. He said he wanted to be just friends and that he thought that we were too different; just because I'm the small town girl, and he's the big city guy.

About half a year later, he told me about his new girlfriend that he loves very much. Oh, she's nice and sweet, and from a town even smaller than mine...


Third crush, waited only two months. He said he wanted to be just friends, that his life was too complex at the moment.

Two weeks later, he's dating. He complains to me about how he has no time for anything, what with research and finals and getting ready for studying abroad. It takes a special girl to stand not getting any time with her guy for the next two weeks. I wonder if she knows about his month in Italy this summer for work yet...


Being the math inclined person that I am, I figure the next one will be crush, asked, rejected and the ironic kicker set in all within...about two hours. If I sleep in, I may miss it!


I wonder what will happen after that....
