didnt know you had a romantic side to you juicy.
first love was back in highschool. Her name was helen.
I was so infatuated with her and we often chatted but I was too nervous to ask her out. For years this went on till the prom - I got the nerve up and asked. She looked at me with such sadness and said, "if you only would have asked me any other time, even after all these years I would have said yes, but yesterday a guy asked me to go with him to the dance and I agreed."
After the prom I had to leave town the next week to go to seminary miles away and never saw helen again.
It taught me an important lesson that sticks to this day - never but never turn down a chance at risk. I dont ever want to be sitting on a rocking chair mumbling these two words beyond Helens memory...
"if only"
