I'm not positive that I remember specifically who was my first love or first kiss. Who really counts? The boy I had an extreme crush on in third grade? The boy that would walk me home from school in fifth grade? The boy that gave me my first gift from a guy? The boy that...whatever?
I think that it would be more realistic
to say that maybe that's where I am now. Or maybe it hasn't come to
me yet. By that I mean that I loved them all in their own way. Each
person that has meant something to my heart was a first love. The
most important relationships that I've had mean nothing to where I am
now and who I'm with now and how we interact. The firsts of X number
of years ago mean nothing to the firsts of my current relationship or
to any possible future relationships.
Love is a unique incarnation with each
person that you love. Watching how that love forms and grows is the
magic of being in a relationship. Yes, relationships can be
difficult because it is the folding together of two unique people to
create something new together. Often the battles that rage in
relationships are the refusals of one or both parties to allow that
other person to still be themselves within the new formation of “WE.”
