Reminiscing

Do you ever just have a memory pop into your head? Something that happened a lifetime ago? Yeah, it happens to me ALL the time. Usually, I can just think about it for a minute, then dismiss it. But, I have this memory stuck in my head. It's been there for days now. For the life of me, I cannot figure out why! It's not the full memory. Here's what it's about. In High School, I didn't really have very many boyfriends. Sure, there was always someone who wanted me, but not for a long-term committment. (You know how teenage boys are.)

So, one of the brothers of a classmate, Carl, and I hit it off pretty good. I can't even remember where I met him. I didn't go to school with him (that I remember) and didn't hang out with any of his friends (again, not that I can remember). The memory that I have of Carl and I is an intimate memory. I don't think I ever had strong feelings for him, and seem to recall that he was not extremely attractive or popular. Still, there was something enthralling about him, I'm sure. So, the memory is just that. A shared intimate moment. Why is this replaying itself in my mind?? I'm not unhappy or unsatisfied with my current situation, but quite the opposite. Things are great.

I just don't get it. Any ideas?
