"I Realized I was in Love When it Ended"

Share Your Story: My First Love

From dm23

Who Was It With?

a girl I met through a friend

When Did You Realize It was Love?

I guess I realized I was truly in love when it ended

What Did It Feel Like?

At first I felt love, but now that it's over between me and her, I truly feel love. Thinking about her almost every day and little things that remind me of our time together...the feeling I feel every day can't be described. It's like when I'm with her the only person I want to be with is her...and when I see her I smile and when I think of her I feel like I'm right there with her in my mind.

What Happened Next?

We dated for 3 months and I took it for granted...I blame myself every day and I want to get back together but it isn't easy...cause of everything that happened ...I ruined it. And when we broke up I missed her more than ever...things weren't the same. I changed my whole life just so I wouldn't have to sit around and mope ...but she was always there...I...wasn't

Lessons Learned

  • embrace love...and don't ruin it
  • be the best to your girlfriend, give her your heart
  • and always tell her how much you love her
  • last but not least at all! picture your life without her so you don't have to be
