First love story?

Do any of y’all have a first love story?

Maybe one where you don’t end up with that person, or you do.

Maybe about the one that got away or about the one that you know will never be the right person, but you still know that the love you had with them will always be different from the rest.

Maybe even your first love came back into your life years down the road and suddenly you guys reconnected and got together again.

Maybe you guys still love each other, but just as friends.

My first love contacted me. I’m married now and have a family, I told him this. I told him we’ll never speak again and that I wish him good luck and he wished the same.

For me, he was my First Love. Not my first heartbreak or the first person I ever said “I love you” to, but the first one that I ever connected with that was so great, it made my head whirl.

We had an undeniable chemistry and nothing will ever match it, but that’s all it was.

Chemistry.

There was never a real, good communication, or actual work put in. We were young and innocent and naive to think that love and a partnership never took work, and I do believe that to this day, even if we met now and were both single, it would never work bc as much as we connected, we also clashed hard. When it was good, it was amazing, but when it was bad...it was really bad.

The man I’m with today, is amazing, and I love him like no other. It’s not all chemistry and passion, it’s commitment and effort. It’s real. I believe, to me, that’s what real love is. I will always look back on my First Love as if I were reading a Nicholas Sparks novel, but it’s a chapter in my life that’s opened and shut.

I’d love to hear everyone’s stories. Five words or five paragraphs I’ll read them all ❤️
