"We Didn't Want Anybody to Know About Our Secret Love"

Share Your Story: My First Love

From Anonymous

Who Was It With?

My best friend I. We first met in summer camp.

When Did You Realize It was Love?

When he sat next to me and said hi, and we just gazed at each other.

What Did It Feel Like?

When I first saw him it was like my heart was beating too fast and I didn't know what to say to him. Every time I'm in a coversation with someone else, all I could think and talk about was him. It's like a way that I have never ever felt in my lifetime about anyone before, and this was the first ever my heart started beating faster.

What Happened Next?

In the seventh grade he wrote me a note saying he likes me, but in the eighth grade we got together and he said he loved me. I said I love u too, but we broke up. We still had something going on for a while, we just didn't want anybody to know about our secret love for each other. Even though we knew no one could break us up, we still didn't want people butting into our love cuz it would have been annoying if people just asked us a whole bunch of questions like are, y'all still together? or, u gone let him hit that? I mean wouldn't u be tired of people beng nosy and asking a whole bunch of questions like that?

Lessons Learned

* If u think that u falling in love, make sure that it's true love from u and from him. Don't just say I luv u cuz u think u do. Make sure u know u do or u gone end up with a lot questions, like, why did they break up with me? Or you'll end up hurt because u opened your heart up and u sayin u love them but they don't luv u. Just make sure that u know it's love between both of u so u both won't get hurt. And trust me, you'll know when you're in love cuz your heart will tell u. You just have to have faith and believe in wat god's telling u.
