My First Love Left A Mark

"To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heavens." Ecclesiastes 3:1

They say your first love never really goes away, and I didn't believe it until I experienced it for myself. I also didn't believe in love at first sight until it happened to me. I saw you and I knew I would love you for the rest of my life, long after I lost you. A tiny little spark that formed alongside a friendship, turned into a flame that I know I won't be able to blow out.

When you left, you took a piece of me with you. Despite that, your place in my heart still remains. I gave you my heart all those years ago, and you still have it in your pocket. I'll never ask for it back. There are some things you never really get over, and this is one.

The heartbreak was real and the pain was raw. When you said goodbye, I lost myself. My life tumbled out of control and I landed in a dark black tunnel. I've only recently found the light at the end of that tunnel, and crawled my way out. But, here I am still waiting.

I never had a choice in loving you, it was effortless.

For a long time, I was angry and bitter. Just the thought of you, or the mention of your name was enough to put a rain cloud over my head and ruin a perfectly good day. Through all of it, I never stopped loving you. I still haven't. I don't think I could even if I wanted to.

Some may some that I'm crazy for not giving up hope, and maybe I am. Maybe I'm crazy for waiting on the guy that broke my heart, not only once but twice. But if that's the case, then call me crazy. You were such a huge part of my past, and I pray everyday that maybe someday you'll become a part of my future as well.

"You were a beautiful time in my life, and if that's all you'll ever be then that's okay. Not all art is meant to be hung on the same wall forever." - K. Towne Jr

For you, I will always wait.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
