"I tell you, Jimmy ... Mark is sooo dreamy, he's, like, perfect. He's so smart, and he's so good at sports, and he's sooo handsome. He just makes me feel like Jello."
Jimmy and Peg had been friends since either one of them could remember. They grew up next door to each other. They played together, they ate meals together, took naps together and even were in the same class all through school.
"I gotta go, Jimmy. Later, huh?"
"Yeah, sure, Peg."
Jimmy watched her go. Tears came to his eyes, his throat tightened up, his love unrequited, his passion, unspoken.

Lovely post, such a sentimental piece.
Ok, I confess I am really lost ... I do not know why I thought it was Hidden, it is Unspoken.

This tugs at my heart. Wonderfully written.
I was cheering: "Say it! Say it!" as I read it. So much gets missed when our truth goes unspoken.
Very heartfelt. I felt like I was Jimmy, with my heart being shredded by Peg's words.
Very touching... beautifully written.
Very nice master wordsmith.
Nice Lou. I didn't count but I assume that sweet piece was 100 words. And what 100 words that most everyone can relate to.
Hope you have a great day!

You just know that Jimmy is the right guy for Peg. Beautifully written.
Oh. So sad : (. Unrequited love. At least he is a baby : ) and he will have millions of more chances!
I wonder...how many times this happens every day. Sweetly poignant.
And all of those "unspokens" suffocate us, in the end. A sad and beautifully expressed story, Lou.

Awww... That is so poignant! Because I know you are a romantic, I just know that things will work out for Jimmy and Peg. One day she'll look at him, and realize the magic of loving your best friend.
Beautiful, Lou.

And in 20 years, they would be married and tell their children how they'd grown up together and were "just friends".
