My First Love Left A Mark

For you, I will always wait.

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.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
