Young Love

I thought I would never fall in love with anyone until I finish college and start my career, but I was wrong. In my eighth grade year I met my first lover of my life. From the first moment I saw her I was crazy about her. During second semester she and I started dating. Everyday right after school we spend most of our time talking on the phone. One day she told me on the phone that she loves me. I was shock and didn’t know what to say so I told her that I love her too. I lied to her because I didn’t want to hurt her feeling. I have no clue what love feel like or what it means. She and I also went through a few problems during our relationship. We got into fights over stupid things and sometime it lead to us breaking up. The main reason why she and I always fighting are because people make rumors about she and me actually believe them. Then she would find out that it wasn’t true and we would go back out. We didn’t break up a couple of times, it happened seven times. She dumped me seven times but something about her that make me still want to out with her. Then in the summer I receive news that she was moving away to live with her uncle. I also, found out that I’d be leaving to Cambodia for a month. I couldn’t stand the idea that we so far away from each other, so I decided to break up with her. The day before I leave for my trip I told her that our relationship is not going to workout. I thought by going to Cambodia it would help me to forget about her, but all I can thing of is she. From right then I know that I was in love with her. I guess you don’t know how that person means to you until you lose them. When I got back I was going to tell her how I felt about her, but she was already with someone else. Sometime when you love someone you have to let him or her go. Her still and me connected and become great friends till to this day. She will always be that special girl in my heart and I will never forget my first love. People say that teens don’t experience love because they are too young, but I have to disagree with that. Love comes in different shapes and sizes. Love is about trust, communication, lies, dealing with problems together, forgiving, and letting go. I had experience through all of these things in my eighth grade year. You don’t have to get marry or have a ring to call love. I believe that young love is as powerful and meaningful as any kind of love.
