One of my favorite memories:

One time, after school, I felt especially happy.  So happy, that I didn't wait for Alex to hug me.

I hugged him.

"I'm never letting go," I told him. "I'll hang on to you forever."

He looked down and smiled at me and asked "Never?"

"Never."

And look at me now.  Last year he let go of me, but I held on, and eventually persuaded him to come back.

Look at me :]]

so sweet!
