Love Story

By Melissa   11/27/2008

I fell in love with him when I was eight, and no it wasn't the crazy insane girl love it was puppy love. He is my cousin's friend and I got to see him every once in a while, but definitely not as much as I wanted, since we lived 3 hours from each other (driving). He had a girlfriend for about three years and I'd put on a fake smile and listen to all the "sweet" things she did for him and have to endure all those feelings he felt for her. Yet after his birthday she ended things with him, even though it should have been the other way around as to she was cheating on him.

My last visit was the one I'd remember forever...something changed between us; I think it was that he started to see me not as a friend but more as a crush.

On the day before Halloween we stayed up all night together and carved pumpkins and when it was 5 am we went outside to see the most spectacular sunrise I'd ever seen (or was it just because I was with him?). On Halloween, we went together and with my cousin and his dad :P. And we had tons of fun until my cousin sprayed me in the eye with silly string and I started crying. Donald got sad too because he thought it was his fault I was crying and he was being supportive for me in every way, I just didn't see until after my cousin left.

See after my cousin went inside, we did our own trick or treating and wanted to play truth or dare...but my cousin came again.....

Once we went inside, my cousin put on a disc, called Scary Stories which weren't very scary but we were eating our candy and talking. When my cousin went outside, Donald went to follow him but as he got up and passed me, he gave me a piece of paper with his number on it and I felt extremely happy, but being me I didn't want him 2 leave. But how can I get him to stay with me and not my cousin?

So I play a song from a band he introduced me to call "Insane Clown Posse - Let's Go All The Way" and what do you know he came back. So we spent quite a while just talking and smiling at each other, but this was my last day here and I really didn't want to leave. so when it was time to say goodbye, I gave both him and my cousin a hug and said, "See you guys later. Take care."

So when I called him about three days later, we started playing truth or dare, and a little into the game he said, "You know...I have the feeling you like me..." and I immediately went red I was like, omg no... Then he said, "Do you?" And I said, "Maaaayyybeee....." and he said, "Because I kinda like you," and I said, "Well, yeah I do like you..." and he said, "I feel soo much better now."

The next day he said he really liked me but he didn't think long distance relationships worked out so he asked me if I wanted one and I said, "Well yeah I mean, seriously you're worth it." That's how we got together. Then I got all quiet and he said, "Why are you silent?" and I said, "I'm looking at this really beautiful star," and he said, "Do you wanna know why it's so beautiful?" and I said, "Yeah why?" and he said, "Because two people who truly love each other are looking at it right now," and I said "are.." and he said, "Yeah, I am".

The next night we were saying how much we liked each other and it went from "I like you" to "I heart you" then I screwed up and said, "I love you this much" on accident and he said, "Oh yeah, well I just straight up love you." And I think that's when I officially fell in love with him, <3. After that he sent me mail (old school lol) He sent me a baby picture of himself, a beautiful poem, and sketches he made for me. I started seeing him in my dreams and waking up with a smile. This guy deserved the world and I felt like I was the luckiest girl alive to be with him. Our love song (Lips of an Angel by Hinder) made me feel like I was in heaven just by listening to it.

I'm going to visit him again tomorrow and I'm sure it's gonna be great, this is a guy who entirely captivates me and I will always love him.
