You know that feeling when someone comes into your life and shakes everything up? That feeling is called nothing other than Andy. After you’ve known him for a while you can’
t remember what life was like before. You wonder what on earth you used to think about every waking moment of the day before he came along.
Andy'
s someone you always want to be close to. When you get your
morning lift to work together, you secretly
hope there’ll be a full carload of
people so that you can sit next to him. Then when you’re sitting next to Andy, it’
s hard to concentrate. You try to keep making conversation and act like it’s a regular chat with just anyone, but really your mind is somewhere else completely. You find yourself hoping for a
tight bend or a sudden swerve just for that second or two of accidental body contact.
You can spend a full day with Andy and the evening too, but five minutes after saying goodbye you think of something else that you want to tell him. When you start a conversation with him, you never want it to
stop. He has a way of talking and listening and laughing that makes you want the conversation to go on forever.
When it’
s Andy’
s birthday, you want to give him a present or bake him a cake or just spend five minutes with him to make him smile. But you can’t. So you settle for a
silly gesture instead, like posting something on the internet that’
s just for him and only he’ll know who wrote it and why.
