Okay, I've never been in love before

Like actually in love

So maybe you can help a girl Out

There's this guy (polo)& we met in 8th grade and the first day we met I new he Was gonna be one of those friends that you never forget. he made my year absolutely Amazing like literally one of the best years of the couple i been alive. He was my Bestfriendd and we just instantly clicked. We used to do the dumbest things but there was literally never a dull moment. Anyways as you can guess we developed feelings for each other and never mentioned them because our friendship was one that you didn't want to lose. But as the and of 8th grade came to an end and we knew that he was leaving in June, we had 'the talk' DUN DUN DUN

we both had a really mature conversation about our feelings but didn't act on them because he was leaving soon and we knew it was for the best. So it came the last day of school and we hugged cried and promises to text everyday.

HOWEVER he rarely texted and only hmu when he needed a favor and I just left well enough alone because I knew me has forgotten me and I was at peace with that

Fast forward through freshman year to summer before sophomore year.

I obviously moved on and around the start of the summer I was happily In a relationship with this boy and our "relationship" didn't last that long BC He played me amd ended shit be for school started back up. BUT a month or so before school started I get a message from Polo and He says " I'm coming back ' my heart dropped and I was so excited and nervous at the same time

Fastfoward to now (sophomore year)

So when he first CD back I thought things would be awkward but things were actually pretty much the same but I honestly thought I would notCatch feelings Again butttt we started hanging out more ,talking, catching up and I don't know its like I just always wanna be around him, he makes me laugh and smile. He knows how to cheer me up When I cry. He understand the shit I go thru and the thought of him getting in leaving again hurts so bad.

I know he feels something for me... He has to... At least he acts like it... He always wants me around, he's possessive and protective of me (in a good way) and he gets jealous. He always Want to hug me and literally we could be sitting right next to each other but hes making some type of physical connection with me but then again he does stuff with other girls but is hesitant to tell about it

he invites me to his house to go on these fun adventures and met his DAD sister and stepmom

Hes met my mom

He like to lie tho. Like i was flirting with this boy amd he comes over and like tells him to move cause that's 'his seat'(i wad sitting between the other boys legs) and them he just proceeded to lie and say that i slept over his house and alll That

AND he's told me he loves me ALOT of times

HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TO THINK
