First Love

March 19th

March 19th was the day he dumped me...

I was broken. I couldn't find anything to make me feel better, I didn't feel good enough.

He always told me not to worry and right when I stopped, poof, he's gone.

I saw it coming, the way he started to say it.

He told me he was thinking for a couple hours and that he had something to tell me.

I was so shaky, I knew what was coming. I cried before he even said it. Those words that made the tears fall harder than they ever have before.

"Can we just be friends..?"

What am I supposed to say?
"Oh yes, of course we can. Do you want me to leave those past (almost) three months behind too?"

I know, it sounds like I'm making a bigger deal out of this than what it is, especially since it was only two and half months, but I was very hurt.

I know everyone says that high schoolers don't know what love is, but what if they do, and you just don't recognize it yourself because you haven't ever felt how they do before..?

If you think that they mean that they're head-over-heels in love I can see where you're coming from. Most high school students don't know what being in love is. But love, that's something that they are perfectly capable of.
