Not sure it applies to how I feel about this, but I liked the song.<br /><br />@Chris ~ I agree with you about the layers of love thing. One of the things that I was trying to say (and probably not all that effectively) is that I believe if I had made different choices that relationship might have worked out. Or it wouldn't. But, it definitely didn't because he would leave and I yanked him back. I needed to let him go. If he came back, it needed to be his choice.<br /><br />@Purple Cow ~ He only joined the Army because he didn't know what he wanted to do and was at loose ends. After he got out he went back to school for a business degree. Word is that he was an accountant for a while (but really didn't like it). He took over his dad's business when his father died. His dad was a stockbroker. Apparently he likes that better, but in this economic climate, it is stressful.<br /><br />@Mitzi ~ Ironically, our breakup wasn't ugly either. In fact, I could probably call him today, and after we got past this initial oddness of it all, he could tell me about everything. We were good friends. He would tell me about his wife and two kids. (I am friends with his mother and sister on facebook.) And his job, etc. I don't have any desire to rekindle anything and I know he's happy. We were good friends before we ever dated. Strangely enough, I think we could go back to that.<br /><br />@Mitzi ~ I don't hold sadness in my heart so much about my first love itself. I hold sadness in my heart about me. Know that I see my actions in that relationship clearly, I see a pattern that isn't pretty. I better understand how all of the other reltaionships that I had went to the awful places that they did. It started with me thinking that someone walking away = love. That is not a great foundation.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-77360982659426839942010-07-06T11:31:52.908-04:002010-07-06T11:31:52.908-04:00Most of us hold sadness in our hearts pertaining t...Most of us hold sadness in our hearts pertaining to first loves, but in order to move forward, we need to let it go.

(he is also the father of my children) I was blown away by the huge thank you, but he is also getting ready to deploy for the 4th time, and this time he is getting his affairs in order. (he's never done this before) We remained friends all these years, and I helped him when he was battling with Alcohol and nearly died. He thanked me & said because of me he met his wife and gave him 2 beautiful children. I was floored. We didn't divorce on bad terms, we just were the couple that should have stayed at just friends.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-90418796614486951082010-07-06T01:08:11.724-04:002010-07-06T01:08:11.724-04:00I finally got together with a crush... after gathe...I finally got together with a crush... after gathering a lot of courage to tell him. I get broken up because his family is Mormon and they don't want him dating at 14... I feel still REALLY like him, but is it true that once you break up... you never truly get back together? I would like to get back together when he's 16, but will we be able to? I honestly don't care for religion myself, it's good but it can be such a hassle in the real world... i really want to get back together... will it work? can a tenrikyo be compatible to a Mormon? Or should I give up if he's one of those 'more than one wife' Mormon? (tenrikyo is my chosen religion)Sirennecko1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07686431623770662214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-47399356719059344702010-07-06T00:31:00.912-04:002010-07-06T00:31:00.912-04:00PS My first love's birthday is sometime in Mar...PS My first love's birthday is sometime in March...don't remember the actual date anymore though (and that's a good sign)...Purple Cowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11016727639028322093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-31473291571836096632010-07-06T00:29:21.870-04:002010-07-06T00:29:21.870-04:00WOW...I can relate to a lot of things you say here...WOW...I can relate to a lot of things you say here, kiddo!<br /><br />It dumbfounds me though when I hear stories of people marrying their first love. I think its all in the mind, really. Personally, marrying your childhood sweetheart is not for me as I'd have this little worm ruining our relationship saying "Think of all the experiences you've missed!" And really, living alone, being independent, making my own choices was very valuable for me and has helped me in my marriage (and I still think cohabitation is tough!)<br /><br />I think timing has a lot to do with things, and I really don't believe there is just ONE Mr. Right. For me, it's Mr. Right at the Right time. Perhaps love is an over-rated thing. Perhaps life is just a journey of self-discovery. You can't take anyone with you ALL THE WAY. It's you ALONE with co-travellers for part of the journey. <br /><br />Now for my first love. My "first (consumated) love" (different story to First Kiss)was also with a very nice guy...so nice, that he hasn't found me on FB (I see this as a good thing). He had asked me to marry him 13 years before I was ready to make such a commitment and I looked him in the eye and said. "Yes, but if I married you I'd always wonder what I'd have missed." And then I broke his heart by leaving the country and not taking me with him though he was a romantic and imagined he could give up his architect career and become a fisherman. I learnt a lot from him and am grateful to have met him even though I know that I angered him. <br /><br />BTW, You look good in the photograph. So cute! But I think our career choices say a lot about us...Soldier? Nah, can't quite see you with a soldier, my dear.Purple Cowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11016727639028322093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-20145727099142343242010-07-05T22:08:06.872-04:002010-07-05T22:08:06.872-04:00Yes, I married my first love.
