Flash in the Pan

“Do I know you?” She stood in the open door with a blank expression.

How could she not recognize me? 

She had not changed at all: Lusciously curvy, chestnut curls, long eyelashes. The lead actress in all of my fantasies.

“You must have mistaken me for someone else.” She closed the door.

She is the only one I’ve ever loved, and she never knew I existed.

Welcome to “Flash in the Pan”

Tonight’s Flash falls well below the August upper limit of 100 words, at 66. The word for this week is “door”. If you would like to play along and be linked on the Flash in the Pan page, link back to this post with your flash.


Have you ever had a crush on someone who had no idea who you were or that you have a crush? Has someone ever revealed a crush on you which you never expected? Are crushes just for the young?

  2. Crushes are not only for the young and define “young” cuz I’m just a kid at heart anyway.

    Course, if we have a crush there’s all kinds right? The kind where we know they don’t like us, we like them. The kind where we or they say something and then someone’s all awkward later on and things can change after all is revealed.

    It can happen, it does happen.

  3. What is all this about registering things? I came back because I forgot to click notify box when you reply and the cursor ended up over that little heart and gave me a message and stuff 🙂 What’s that all about? (insert inquisitive expression!)

    • I do not think it ever has. Crushes are so very revealing about what catches our fancy…even when the flower is poisonous. 😉 Great to see you tonight, Soma <3 xxx

  5. I fell in love with a beautiful girl in my class and she used it to try and destroy me in a vicious show of malice and cruelty.

    After that I was careful who I fell in love with and never really committed to another person for decades.

    When I finally did with Hanne she and I were to be wed, but she died suddenly due to a massive brain embolism in her grandmother’s kitchen.

    I have not loved anyone since…

    Love and hugs!

    • But my dear Pren, crushes are not love. They are fleeting fancy. You’ve not been struck by the passing fancy?

      Reply
      • Oddly enough, no! 🙂

        I guess I took life all too seriously… 🙂

        Love and hugs!

        • A crush is far more about appreciating kindness and loveliness where you find it than anything else. It is nice for others to stir the chemicals which fuel love, even if it is just a ripple in the pool to remind us of our softer side. {HUGZ} Red.

  7. greetings, all… Cat – awesome musical choice – I definitely have a crush on Mr Dave!! Prenin, how very sad!!!
    Red, I agree crushes are for everyone. They are good for keeping the youthfulness in our passion.
    I recently had a dream in which I had a crush on someone in the dream. When I woke, I could ID everyone else in the dream and match them up with a real person from sometime in my life except him. I wonder what that means!?!?!?
    hope y’all have a great week and find lots of metta love!!!

    🙂

    • Perhaps, he is someone you have yet to encounter. Dreams are so fun. I love where the subconscious takes us. {HUGZ} <3 xxx

  8. I recently had a crush (for about five minutes) for a young college-aged summer program councillor. How bad is that? Ha ha ha.

    • Oh, dear Tess, it means you are still young at heart. Fancy is such a fleeting thing, but five minutes? I think your attention span must rival mine! <3

  9. Crushes are definitely not only for the young (defining young as in school age) and this post sure brings back memories! I, too, am young at heart and so is my forever crush, my hubby! 🙂 Great post, Red! xoxo

    • How sweet! There is nothing as grand as glittery eyes when you are with the one you love. Waking every morning to it is delightful (dragon breath notwithstanding). So very glad to see you tonight, Lauren! <3 xxx
