he wasn't what i thought of

I saw my old crush and probably the first surviving tangible crush I had 12 years back. Funny though, he doesn't seem to be quite a looker now as he was before. Or was it because back then, I was one of the victims of the world's standard in aesthetics. It's the same smile and eyes. But no kilig present. No 'agawan ng pwesto'. No more papers to be crumpled or candies to give, or that grin when he used to tease me.

I realized that what I was holding onto now were plain childhood memories.

My childhood crush, and how time taught me to look at things deeper.
