My friend Heather, a very successful professional basketball player, sent in a few requests to Matt's radio show. One of the songs, "Right Here Waiting" by Richard Marx, took me back to the summer after I graduated high school.
In the summer of 89 I met a girl named Florence. She was a foreign exchange student from Dijon, France and we hit it off. Of course I hadn't begun to deal with you know, being gay, but that wouldn't come for a few years. Anyhoo, Florence and I spent a lot of time together and I developed feelings for her.
When Florence went back home, "Right Here Waiting" had just been released and every time I heard it I thought about her. To this day, when I hear the song I go back to that summer and the fun we had.
