Dear Prudence, youthful woman whom was the center of my affection throughout middle school and high school. Lo, I may have competed with you in academics and taunted you with commentaries and debates in class, one thing was hidden from you. The fact that I had the greatest crush for you.
In Honors Biology Class, I would be relentless in my efforts, ever so eager to claim the highest grade in class, and repudiated all who dared to come across my high marks. Only one ever came close to reaching my marks, and it was you. A threat? Oh no, you were not seen as a threat, but a weakness on this man's eyes. The smirk on my face hid the deep longing I had for you when I was but a childish adolescent. 16 years old I was. 17 years old. Till graduation at 18.
And I remember that one time you scored the highest in one exam. 100 percent and I was second in rank with a pitiful 97 percent. Oh but it did not phase me, for you said to me, "Don't worry, you'll get it next time." Was that a competitive challenge? Deign i thought it was. And ever so much inspired in me to acquire perfection yet again. Did you know that scoring 100 percent was merely a means to impress upon you? Oh my childish antics of my youth.
I must confess, Prudence, I remember the one time you came to me and whispered to my ears. And softly gently laid a kiss with your pink moist lips on my cheeks.
Now you know. If, that is, you find this confession.
A old flame,
Brando
