Smile

For all my complaints about having a poor memory, it does work sometimes.

Everyday I wake up to a random MP3, and today's was a Gin Blossoms tune. It reminded me* of a friend, and the thought of her made me smile. Not a wistful "I wish" smile, but a nice little "I remember" smile. Some people** touch your life in such a way.

This thought in turn brought to mind a woman who has been down east for years, never married or had children, that I had a crush on when I was younger. Which pointed out to me that feelings can last a long time, no matter what in life intervenes, and that my memory isn't entirely useless.

*I'm pretty sure there was a Gin Blossoms song either on or intended for the mixed CD I gave her.
