Whaddup New Crush!

There's this childhood friend I have that I lost contact with like eight years ago. I had a little crush on him back then, but thought nothing of it because I was like nine and that was my homeboy. But today he messaged me and we got to talking about everything that we used to do and get into when we were younger with our other friends. He was always smooth, even as a kid.. I forgot that. I liked that, I still do. I doubt this will grow into anything else besides us being close friends again and I'm okay with that. I don't even think I'm ready for another relationship; I'm not up for taking a chance with getting hurt again..
