If I loved You Once I'll Love You Forever

“Love is that condition in the human spirit so profound that it empowers us to develop courage; to trust that courage and build bridges with it; to trust those bridges and cross over them so we can attempt to reach each other.” - Maya Angelou

If I loved You Once I'll Love You Forever

Love is an interesting concept. We use it to express our admiration for things like our favorite foods, material items, our pets, our friends, and our lovers. “Love” has endless meanings and endless interpretations and it can take in a variety of different forms.

I believe love between people is everlasting. If I have loved you before, I love you now, and I will love you forever. I don’t believe it was ever love in the first place if you can just decide one day that you no longer love someone. That’s not what love is. You may have thought that it was love but it was probably just lust or an infatuation of someone.

Throughout my whole life, I have always cherished every single relationship I have made. Whether it be platonic friendships or romantic relationships. I would not have started to build a relationship with you if I had not loved you in some prior way.

Regretfully, I have lost relationships with many people whom I've once loved. My ex best friend is no longer in my life. My first love has moved on. My past loves are just that. But not to me. All of these expired relationships mean more to me. Obviously, I wouldn't have had you as my best friend if I didn't love. I wouldn't have dated you if I didn't love you in some way. I wouldn't have invested in our relationship if I didn't love you. My previous love for you has just transformed into a new love. From romantic love to friendship love. From friendship love to neighborly love. I will always have some level of love for you because I will always care about you.

I will always be that person you can always rely on. I will always be that person you can run to for help. I will always be that person that will always be there for you if you need me. If you need a friend, I am there. I will never understand how people can just completely cut off and ignore the people they've once loved. That doesn't even make any sense. How can anyone be so cold-hearted? You've spent a portion of you life engaging with these people and making memories with them. It shouldn't be so easy to just cut them out of your life. Did you really ever care for them in the first place? Were these people just a way for you to waste your time?

Maybe I'm just a clingy person. Maybe I'm just over attached. Or maybe I'm just a good person with a big heart and a lot of love to give. Whatever it may be, I will never forgot those that I used to love. I will never forget those that used to make my days just by seeing them. You all know who you are, I will always love you.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
