"I Cried Over Him About 5 Times"

Share Your Story: My First Love

From aboveZ

Who Was It With?

this guy at my school

When Did You Realize It was Love?

After the 1st month, used to be a crush but it developed into love

What Did It Feel Like?

The love I felt towards him made my heart flutter and I couldn't help but smile whenever I was around him. I could act like my real self. We were both open to each other. I didn't just fall for his looks, I fell for his characteristics.

What Happened Next?

He knew that I had a crush on him a week after I realized I had a crush on him. My feeling of love started about a month later and I guess he still thought I had a crush on him. But, I cried over him about 5 times. One reason was because even though we were never going out, he knew my feelings and broke my heart by going out with another girl. I convinced myself to get over him, and I kind of did, sometimes I doubt it though. He is my best friend and even though we don't talk as much as we used to, I sometimes wonder if my feeling of love for him still lingers...

Lessons Learned

  • You never forget your first love.
  • You never get over you first love.
  • Trying to stop loving someone is cruel and painful, but also pointless because the feeling will never leave, even as the years pass by, and even if it's a REALLY small feeling.
