Who Was It With? 

my current boyfriend <3

When Did You Realize It was Love? 

When I noticed: I didn't have to dress amazingly to impress him.

What Did It Feel Like? 

It felt like a million angels had decided that I was good this year and deserved someone amazing. He makes me feel like the happiest girl alive every second of every day. He writes long endless paragraphs (more like essays) of how much he loves me. He makes me feel like there is no other, like he is the only one I will ever love. And I know deep down in my heart: he is the only one I will love. And the only one I ever plan on Loving.

What Happened Next? 

I had liked him for ages. I met him starting school. He had many different girlfriends and I didn't really have many boyfriends. I hated every moment there was a girl in his life. I had never kissed a boy before. I mean properly kissed anyway. I went to a disco with my friend and was having a ball. To make my night perfect I was asked to meet him. I agreed. There was a bit of confusion at first because of people giving him the wrong answer. I met him and it was amazing. Like nothing I had ever felt before. I knew then that I was in love with this guy. The only problem being that I thought he didn't like me back. I only thought this because on that night he met another girl more times than me. She was prettier than me. I felt, well, worthless. He told me after when I had gone home that he only met the other girl because she had come up to him and asked him face to face. I hated it. It made me sick. I felt like he had used me. I felt betrayed. I was depressed and didn't know who to turn to. No one understood the pain I was going through. I begun to put up a facade, pretending that I hated him, when really I hated myself for not having the courage to tell him how I feel. Even now as I reflect I wish I had. If we ever talk about these things I play it down a lot. I hope by maybe showing him this, he'll understand really how much I have always loved him. I began talking to him again and got to know him better. I began to understand him more and more and regretted hurting him by telling him I hated him. I started meeting him again. A week or two later on the 11th of March we got together. I fell madly in love and am still falling. I'm with him 8 months now. It'll be nine months on the 11th of December. That's just 5 more days :) he completes me. We talk about the future and raising a family and right now everything is perfect. I'm glad I didn't give up on my dreams. <3
