SHE KNOWS

I originally planned for this to be my Valentine's day blog entry, but the mood to write it didn't hit me then. Of course, I didn't know then what I know now.

She knows.

She, of course, is someone whose name I won't mention here. Yet.

She is someone I've known for the longest time. We've been friends all these years but we only became really close last 2004.

I always found her attractive. Back in college, I once told a friend that this girl would make the perfect wife. Naturally, she had many suitors, and it was here that she began honing her sharpshooter skills, shooting down each guy's chances with a clean shot through the heart.

But don't get me wrong. She's one of the most amazingly wonderful people I know. Frank, sincere, caring and a heart filled to the brim with goodness. When we talk, it's comfortably familiar - as conversations with old friends really feel - yet it's also a joy to keep learning something new about her even after all this time. I'd have gone after her a long time ago, yet circumstances kept getting in the way.

Job. Studies. Job. Family. Things important to her, so I elect to wait. Which has always been my perrenial problem. In the past, by the time I feel the time is right, I had either missed my chance or had safely entered the friend zone.

And with this girl, I must be miles into the friend zone by now. But then again, I found out that she knows. Usually, as soon as she finds out about a guy's feelings for her, she begins to prepare a speech to let the guy down easy. No sign of the speech yet. And I've been able to go out with her and talk to her on the phone in the past week.

Now I know that she knows. I found out thanks to a friend whom I requested to seek the help of her officemate. When he told the officemate, the girl gamely replied that they knew. And that she knew. They've known it for a long time. They were wondering why I hadn't made a move.

So , I'm about to take a risk I haven't taken in four years. I'm going to go up to her with a bullseye painted over my heart and I'm going to take a shot.

Hopefully, she leaves her gun at home.

Finally! :-P

Good luck man!

Good luck!! :)
