Letter to My Ex, Round 2

I had one serious relationship in high school. He was a sweetheart. He could sing his butt off. He had the voice of an angel. His name was Jarrod. We went to rival high schools and we never were in a class together. We met a cross-schools event, I believe it was a student council thing at his school. He was a year behind me in school. It turned out that I am 5 days older than him. He made sure to throw that in my face as much as possible.

We may have been in different places in terms of schools, but we made sure that every interaction was important. I remember my first kiss with him. It was at my high school during a basketball game between our schools. We were standing on center court and he grabbed me, spun me around, and kissed me. There was something in that kiss. I felt the electricity go from his body to mine. That boy knew what he was doing. We went to my senior prom together and it was amazing. He was the best date that I could have asked for. We broke up when I went away to college, but I don't regret the 2 years that we had.

If you are reading this, Jarrod R. -----

I learned about who I was with you. I knew what I wanted for future relationships. You were a learning experience that I was glad to take on. Being with you was a joy and a pain in the backside. It took a while to get to your heart, but I am grateful for the experience. I remember all of the times that you would sing for me. I loved those times. I remember how mad you were when I told that I couldn't go to your senior prom with you. Stupid college wouldn't let me out, they had too many policies about home visits. I remember the walks and conversations. I remember the high school dances and us slow dancing to those throwbacks. I still can't hear The Whispers, Cameo, or The Spinners without thinking about you. I could always depend on you for some good music.

Yes, the relationship was juvenile and some could say that it was immature, but I loved it and you regardless. We were in high school, what did we really know about love or relationships? You were so mature, You were wise beyond your years. You were cool with anything that I threw at you. I remember when you walked God knows how many miles to my house just to say hello. My dad was sitting on the front porch, and he brushed you off and sent you back home. I was so embarrassed, but you just let it go. You chalked it up to my dad being protective of his daughter. I knew that you were a keeper at that moment. I never had to wonder if I found the guy for me. Even though the relationship ended, I knew that I had found a friend that I could call out for anything. Anything from a small favor to just a conversation about the good ole days. I could talk to you about anything from music to dating to college applications. I am so glad that I can call you friend. You are awesome. You are a great man. I believe that God has someone for you. She is a lucky girl. Hold onto that woman, and sing until her heart is content.
