Love This Time

The year was 2010, the setting was a high school gymnasium, and the scene was a junior high homecoming dance. The students of Dawson Boyd School had just finished dancing enthusiastically (if somewhat awkwardly) to Soulja Boy when the DJ announced that the next song would be a slow dance–the first of the night. The tension in the room could be cut with a plastic butter knife. To make matters worse, the DJ thought it would be a great idea to have the girls ask the boys to slow dance. At this point, my twelve year old self was shaking in her Ugg boots and sweating through her plaid button down from Hollister. Seventh grade was an awkward year for me; I was taller than most of the boys and not quite yet comfortable in my skin. I was sure that I was about to be rejected, but my mama didn’t raise a quitter, so I confidently strode over to the tallest boy in my grade and asked him to dance. Luckily for me, not only did he say yes, but he also asked me to dance during every slow song thereafter. It was just about the most romantic thing that could happen to a seventh grader and it didn’t go unnoticed by our classmates. After being pressured to date throughout the whole night, he finally asked me out during the last song. After that, our love blossomed. He would hold my hand in the hallways, write me notes in class, and give me compliments, just like in the movies. At the time, I took this to mean that we were in love, though it’s easy to see in hindsight that what we shared was

So the night I fell in love with "the one," I was not under the influence of anything except love itself. We talked briefly at the party, met up at the bar, and danced three perfect dances. He was

He was definitely everything I could 've ever dreamed of. Tall, muscular, very handsome and the most beautiful green eyes I had ever seen in my life. His name was Adam. I guess you could say it was love at first sight I mean I fell in love the very moment I laid my eyes on him and I knew he felt the same. We spent every minute of every day together. He loved me in a way nobody else ever did. I had finally found my happiness. The love of my life. My other half.

Three years later to senior year of high school and a total of three rejections, he still never gave up. I officially decided to date him and we were closer than ever. We were the

We met on the first day of seventh grade, so as twelve-year olds, we did not experience revelation of love that many people seem to relate to the meeting of soulmates. We did become close friends, however, and by the end of seventh grade he professed his affection for me. Our relationship officially

The next thing I remember is us sitting at the local pub getting a beer and talking about everything between the sky and ocean. That's how it all started and eventually we fell in love. After being a couple for three years he decided to join the army, but that wasn't the only surprise. He proposed. Never have I've been so happy and sad at the same time before. Because even though he officially was mine now, I had already lost him. Well at least for six months, but I was afraid it was going to be more than that. What if I lost him

He immediately turned to look out the window in an effort to hide his bright red face. He looked rather charming peering out the window like that. The longer I looked at him the stronger the urge I had to kiss him grew. I impulsivity grabbed his face and starting kissing all over it. Then all of the sudden he started saying he loved me, I knew he had to have been joking. No one would seriously tell a girl they loved them after four years of not seeing

It was hard to stay far away from each other, but to keep our relationship going strong, we talk to each other every day, share things together. After few months of being far away, he came back for a visit, and again, I took a chance to go see him in his hometown, Kansas. We spent a week to go see some beautiful places, travel around the city and enjoy the beautiful sunset in the countryside. It was a great time that we will never forget.

It all started at band camp in 2013. Both Josh and I showed up to the camp a day early, not knowing it didn't start until the following day. Right away, I thought he was cute. Since I was a new student, I had a few questions and I asked him. Although he was quite shy at the time, I knew I wanted to get to know him.

Finally the day came! The day we were going to disney world. The night before we went we slept at my grandparents house because he had to get up

Back when I was in eighth grade, a stranger had a huge crush on me. Awe, it felt cute at first because I remember back in sixth grade I also had a crush on him. He was a few inches taller than me, dark black curly hair, with cute freckles on his cheeks. Anyways, during my sixth year we never had a class together, I had never heard his voice, we had just never met at all. Until my eighth grade year, I don’t know how it happened, but he liked me back. He was a sweetheart to me, he walked me to my classes and sometimes we ate together at lunch, except this time I didn’t like him as I did in my sixth year. Everyone in school knew how much he liked me, yet I didn’t like him back. He was just too perfect. Long story short, I ended up in a relationship with a jerk that later cheated on me. And then again girls complain why all guys are the same,

He was a major suspect in a missing person’s report. Meaning there are several complications with pursuing Isaac. That day, I took that moment with me and visualized it over, and over it again. Some nights from that day I would sleep, and still have his face in my head. Just a constant uncontrollable glare that kept replaying. Trying to understand the misunderstood would be just as complicated as trying to establish the Pythagorean theorem. Even if it seemed so simple to other people you would have to be a fool to fall for Isaac. Especially with those wide green

We met in the 6th grade, he was the only person to congratulate me on making honors band with him, or at least the only person who didn’t tell me i didn't deserve it, he was the only one there for me when i felt down and he didn't even know me. Except for the fact that he better looking than i am, Evan and I are a lot alike, we play the same instrument, we laugh at a lot of the same things, and our cars both got egged on the same

Slowly falling hard for him every day, literally sweeping me off my feet you could say. No matter what it is he will always be there when I need someone to talk to. I’m so comfortable around him, he never judges and always seems to give the best advice. Also, he will tell you exactly how he feels about something. Personality’s mean the world to me, it’s not all about looks, based on your personality can determine how beautiful person you are or how ugly you can be. Taylor’s personality truly shows how beautiful, sweet, responsible, caring, smart he is. There was a time my car battery died and I needed someone to come jump my car and he dropped everything he was doing just to come help, this opened my eyes and showed that he cares about

My boyfriend and I have had a year and a half filled with ups, downs, certainty, and mixed feelings. We met
