That’s when it all started. An amazing relationship, full of ups and downs but none the less full of love.
I can remember the first time I told you that I loved you. It was 3 months into dating you and we were on the phone till the early hours of the morning as usual, and we went to say goodbye and I just dropped the bomb, and said “I love you” to my surprise, you said it back. That feeling, knowing that you loved me too, that feeling of happiness has yet to be surpassed. It was the most amazing feeling of my life.
As our relationship went on, we were inseparable. We spent every possible moment we could together, most of the time with your family. I fell in love with them, just as strongly as I fell in love with you. They soon became MY family.
We spent countless hours talking on the phone about our future, getting married, and having kids. Living next door to all of our friends, and having our kids running back and fourth to “Uncle Alex’s house”, remember that one night we talked for 2 hours about a can of potato soup and turned it into this huge story?
Or maybe the time we went school shopping together, and your moms car got a flat tire. We ended up being out till about 3am, and I remember listening to Bob Marley in the backseat, falling asleep in your arms. Nothing could have been more perfect.
As time went on our love grew stronger, but we grew apart. We went to different schools, and didn’t get to see each other as much, causing stress. One night you told me that this girl had been talking to you, concerned I pressed the subject only to find out that you had phone sex with her, which in my mind was cheating. I was devastated. We sat there on the phone silent for an hour, no talking, just crying. You knew you’d done wrong, and that you were going to lose me. The only thing I was thinking? All I could think about was how much I loved you, and how much I didn’t want to lose you. I forgave you, and we tried our hardest to set that behind us.
April 13, 2009 we celebrated our 2 year anniversary together. May 1, 2009, a few weeks later, we broke up.
I’ve still never loved anyone quite the way I loved you, and probably never will. You were my first love, and to this day I still have love for you. I’ll never forget the amazing times we had, and the love that we shared. I do hope that you find someone, and you give her all the love and dedication you once gave me, because theres nothing better in this world.
Thank you, Mac, for showing me what love truly is.
