first love

Tweet

I don't expect everyone to understand my feelings as a matter of fact some of you will probably think it's crazy. Anyway, when I was thirteen i thought i was in-love with this guy who at the time was 14yrs old. Anyway, our parents were both in the Navy and I moved to florida and he moved to Calif. All throut highschool we kept in touch by letters and phone calls and we both said "i love you" to each other.Anyhow, that lasted up until high school graduation and he even told me he was going to join the marines which he did. to make the story short, after his training he phoned me one day and said he was getting married. Of course,I was devastated but I got over the fact right away. I mean I didn't go through any kind of depression or anything. I guess because I always told myself that because of the fact that we're both in different places, I knew he dated others girls. So,years went by but i never forgot him and how i felt for him. Even after I've gotten married, I still thought about him and hoped that he was doing well and in good health considering the fact that he was in the marines.Sixteen years have passed by and I found him one day on myspace. I never really thought how much I still felt for him until he called and we talked. He's married with one kid and I with two kids. And, he still lives in Calif.To this day,we still keep in touch. I have no intention of rekindling or picking up where we left off due to the fact that we both have families now. Yet,I still truly have feelings for him. And the thing is I know the feelings aren't mutual because men don't get as emotionally attached like some women do. But we are friends and we talk to each other.He calls me but I don't call him. I'm not expecting anything but just his friendship and for us to keep in touch. Honestly,I truly don't know how he feels about the fact that after all this years I still feel something for him. I mean guys,what do you think? And,girls what do you think?
