Challenge Day 02 - Your First Love

Did anyone else have a girlfriend/boyfriend in kindergarten? I did. Her name was Lindsay something-another. I remember she had a twin, so I'd get her confused with her twin.

Anyways, that's not my first love, because the only love I knew at that point was in relation to my parents. But kindergarten just popped in my head...

My first love was sophomore year of high school, Beka Talbot. I think everyone in our high school knew that as well, she was one of the more popular names and I was a new face. She decided to run for homecoming queen and she needed an escort. For some reason she picked me, the pale, awkward, smile full of braces, spikey haired kid who nobody knew.

Though, this is very similar to the kindergarten situation in a way. I thought I knew what love was, and that's what I felt for Beka. I don't even think we dated for more than two months, but after we were an "item" we continued to stay friends.

She really just wanted to be friends, but I always hoped their was something more between us. She was a fun, cookey, smart, beautiful girl and I loved being her friend, but I wasted my whole high school love life hoping that we would get back together. Anyone else fall into this category?

Last I heard from her was our graduation from college, I think she was about to get engaged, but I can't remember. I hope all is well with her, because I know that things sure did for me.

Now I truly know what "love" is, even though I thought I knew what it was in HS. Brittany is my love, and I thank her for her allowing me to experience that feeling everyday. I don't know how I'd survive without her in my life. Dreamteam forever.
