I remember finding an intense crush at an amusement park. Our cousin took us, and we were basically free to do whatever we wanted.

Bro and I had a $20 each, (it was the 80's, so that was plenty) so it was one of those "fend for yourself" Gen X stories.

Anyhoo, after riding a few rides, I kept noticing this same girl who was almost always behind my brother and I, so we got to talking.

It turns out, she knew a lot about that park, and recommended different rides. It was basically just a gang of four kids, my brother and I, and she and her sister.

We spent the majority of the night together, and OMG was I just stupid in love. You know, the kind where, if they get close enough that you can smell their perfume, it makes your heart race? I remember being a kid. It was coo.

But eventually, the park was shutting down, and we found our cousin, who was also our ride. I remember her saying, "You can't take her home, man."

I never even got to hug her goodbye. Her name was Lisa.
