What's In a Crush?

It's so funny how time changes so many things. This past weekend, I spent time with someone who I used to have a huge crush on. I still like, respect and admire this person very much. I can talk to him about many topics for long lengths of time. He has many qualities that I find extremely attractive in a person. However, my crush, for many reasons, has been over for a long time.

What amazed me was the difference in my reaction to seeing him now. At one point, I had such a crush on him, but now, I look at him with friendship and affection, purely platonic. All those feelings that once felt so strong have dissipated and faded.

Time is an amazing enzyme to affect change.
