The Girls I Have Loved Before

Chapter 4- A new beginning

I moved schools to a college where I would spend my time for the next two years. Here I was determined to find a girl that's right for me. It was a fresh start, everything was new. I was sure I would find my match.

2 months into the term I met a fellow student at my college on instagram we started talking and became good friends. We hung out in college and it was great. After a month or so I started to develop affectionate feelings toward her. I told her and she said to me that she felt the same way.

Every time I saw her my heart melted. I loved her so much it hurt. She wasn't just a scattered shower or a drop of rain she was like the sunshine mixed with a hurricane. She was the perfect storm. And I had trouble sailing the boat of my life when I was around her. The was my first true love.

She wasn't perfect but I didn't want perfect. Do the craters on the moon make it less beautiful?Do crashing waves against the shore make it less wonderful? Do stories with bad endings make them not worth reading? Our imperfections make us who we are. Little deviations from true beauty does not make something less beautiful. It makes something more.

At that point in time my life felt perfect. I was getting good grades I had a beautiful girlfriend. Everything was great. After a few days of telling each other how we were feeling we decided to go on our first date. I called her up and we talked on the phone for about an hour. We organised a day to go out for coffee. We set a time and location. And as the call came to an end, we both ended with the same 3 words 'Goodbye my love'. How magical that felt.
