Do we really know what "love" is? Or do we just say it, because we know what it means? Do we know how it feels? People don't think we do.. but I think I do.
Let me start from the beggining... I moved from Glenwood, to Council Bluffs. Twin city.. is my neighborhood that I moved into.. when I was 6 years old.
I had nextdoor neighbors.. You know the usual neighbors.. the old people & the people younger.. or older than you.. & if you get lucky the same age & maybe the same gender.
But no, I got the old people, & the house full of boys.
All boys.. my brothers we're lucky.. me? Not so much. Anyway, there was a 6 year old boy.. I didn't know what to think of him? I was only 6!
Then you know 1st & 2nd grade came by & the more my brothers got close to him.. the more I got to know about him. & the more I began to like him. He didn't like me, I could tell.. he dated a lot of my friends... & 7th grade came around & boy, did I like him... but no.. he liked my friend.. & started dating her for A LONG time. Of course I had no chance... shocker...
That's when it all changed for me... I was on facebook... A normal night & I was doing "Truth Is Statuses", he liked it... so as usual I did his... & I didn't know what to say, so I kept it simple "Truth is? You're my neighbor & you're cute...?" & I rated him a 8.5. Right after he liked it, he messaged me "Hey :)"..
What was going on? We haven't talked since, him & my friend broke up.. & I knew he liked my best friend also.. he told me..
I talked to him & of course we started talking & talking & talking.. my rates got higher & his rates got higher... it was just the facts..
I knew he liked my best friend, but I kept quiet.. & that was until he started dating her... so you know.. I was happy for her, because she liked him, he liked her.. it was bound to happen...
His friend asked me out.. & what was I gonna say?
Oh.. sorry.. I'm waiting for a guy that will never date me?
No. I gave him a chance.. & of course.. we dated & they dated... but then the guy that was dating my best friend messaged me a good amount of the time & kept telling me he was gonna break up with my best friend...
He then broke up with her maybe a week later? & I was still dating his friend... but that's when I realized.. I like him a lot.. more than the guy I am dating... I had to do the right thing.. someway.. somehow..
Maybe a week later, I broke up with my boyfriend.. & started talking to the guy I liked...
I was so happy & relieved.
Maybe 2-3 weeks later we started dating.. which was on a friday.. & there was a football game & I was going with friends... & after the football game.. me & my friends went to my house & we got up the next day & I had a message from him that said "I don't think we should date... it's kind of awkward"..
My heart sank.
We talked almost all day & at the end of the day... he said he wanted to give me another chance..
I was so happy!
He came over that night, & my friend & me, hung out with him & his friends..
It was amazing, almost the best night ever.. he left maybe around 1 am.
I am still dating him...
& that him..
Is my nextdoor neighbor.
So I think when you like someone for.. 6 years & you finally get the chance to date him...
I would call it love & I don't care what people say...
I love him.
