See the guy right up there…………He made a huge difference in my life
It all goes back to January 2010, I was recovering from a really bad break up with someone else. My best friend was trying to cheer me up but nothing would work. She later on introduced me to her friend Jonathan, the guy you see up there in that photo. Now, I was TOO crazy about talking to another guy. I was too afraid to talk to any other guy, scared of getting hurt. I remember the first day he messaged me on Facebook, it was weird at first since I really didn’t know who he was or had ever met him in person, but I proceeded to message him back. It continued like this every day for the whole month of January. I always looked forward to his morning messages and him calling me sweetie & good morning beautiful or Good morning princess. Him calling me EVERY morning & EVERY night talking for hours on end. I couldn’t take it anymore, I wanted to meet him already and hang out with him. So we decided to hang out on February 13th, a day before Valentines day. I wasn’t nervous at all, My best friend went along for a double date with us. It was so exciting knowing I was going to FINALLY met the guy who always put a smile on my face & made sure I was ALWAYS happy. After 3 Metro rail train rides & a bus to get to city walk we were there. I went with my friend and waited. At first I though he wasn’t going to show up. I saw bus after BUS I was starting to lose hope till i saw him get off the last bus that arrived. I looked up and saw him smiling at me, I ran up to him and gave him the BIGGEST hug I had ever given a person. It felt right being in his arms. they felt so warm & protective. He was so sweet and cute, showing affection every second of the day we hung out, making me laugh. we ended up going on our own for a bit, holding hands, talking, laughing, sharing candy & feeding it to one another. having to leave him that night was the hardest part seeing as I was starting to fall for him. That night I knew deep in my heart I really started to like him. My friend though it was crazy seeing as we had only been talking for a month and almost 2 weeks but I knew it felt right with him. For once in my LIFE, I knew being with him was right. EVERYTHING felt right. We started dating the next day, he asked me out in person, I didn’t hesitate at ALL. From then on we would hang out EVERY weekend that we could, at the time he was 21 & I was 17 almost turning 18, Age was nothing but a number to us. As long as he loved me & I loved him. took 2 buses & 6 dollars just to get see that face every weekend. I cherished every moment I got to spend with him, the cuddling on rainy nights, laying in bed watching movies, meeting all of his friends, his brother & sister always talking to me, the small kisses he would give me, being playful with me and attacking me with kisses. He respected me & my body, never doing anything I didn’t want. Over time it started to fade, the calls were shorter & shorter, seeing each other decreased, the nick names no longer existed, we grew apart and I knew deep in my heart we we’re both starting to act differently. After a year of dating we both called it quits, we both knew it was the best for us & we went our separate ways. To this day were still friends we always talk and catch up on how were doing & whats new in our lives. He’s met my new boyfriend at the moment, he’s happy for me and wants me & my boyfriend to work. I really deep down still love that teddy bear, he’s always been there through everything. I’ll never forget how he helped me overcome my fear of falling in love again, Thank you Jonathan, I will always love you feo <3
