Who Was It With?
A hopeless romantic
When Did You Realize It was Love?
When my every thought was about him. And it felt like torture without him.
What Did It Feel Like?
First it started as flirting in Spanish class, freshman year. Then it progressed over the summer, at the start of sophomore year he ripped my heart in pieces and said he was with someone else, also admitting he felt terrible about doing so. The first semester of that school year it was like being in a daze, living without him was painful. I texted him during Christmas break and we kicked off our relationship again, knowing our love for each other was different. Although he was still with that other girl, we had a unique love for each other.
What Happened Next?
At the end of the school year we started seeing each other (he was still with the other girl). I knew he just saw me and was using me for himself, but I could not resist him because of the pain he caused when we weren't together. We saw each other in secret and never told anyone, this is the first I've ever mentioned it, and we knew we loved each other. Slowly we drifted apart and have not seen each other for a year, he says he wants to get together, but every time I text him, he replies, k or ya, or lol, we get in fights and I'm beginning to think we are killing our relationship altogether. It's senior year and a year for many new things, hopefully everything works out. But right now I don't know anything except the fact that I love him.
