Shengliver’s Note: Can you imagine a kid as young as 5 or 6 years old feeling romantic?

Before I went to primary school, I had a best friend in kindergarten.

My best friend was the sweetest girl I have ever met. Kind and generous, she always shared some delicious goodies with me. She was also a brave girl. As a boy, I was rather weak. Some bigger boys sometimes bullied me with their arms and legs. Luckily my best friend was always there when the harassment started. Better still she answered violence with violence.

Unfortunately, destiny played a cruel joke on me. As I was one year her junior, I would have to be transferred to another school. What was worse, it was not long before my family moved house. You cannot imagine how sad I was, Shengliver. At that age, I never thought of asking her where her family lived. The last time I met her was when we were in Grade 1 primary school. Ever since then, never have I seen the girl in the flesh once. I hate myself very much. Because I was a timid boy, I missed a chance to say I loved her.

Even today I think my parents’ placing me in a different school at the time was a foolish decision. Although the girl still occupies a special place in my heart, everything physical about her is gone. I have lost all traces of the beloved person. I have no idea wherever she is or whatever she is doing.

EH!
