aimsmith My first crush was when I was in the first grade. I still remember her name... Too bad I never told her how I felt about her. A few years later I saw her at a summer camp and I still did not tell her how I felt. Even though we were friends, I would have wanted...

poohgal @poohgal (6845) • Singapore 2 Jul 08
