My childhood love and I after 17 years finally have been talking. After 17 years he still says he loves me and I still get those butterflies I got as a child for him. We never broke up I just moved away and lost touch. We talk for hours each night and he is always saying how much he loves me. Our lives have taken different roads voer the years but the end results is how deeply we feel for each other. Is it possible that after all this time, things can work out between us? I keep telling him with are different people and alot may have happened but he still says that does not change his love. And yes I feel the same. To be honest I think the love i feel for him now (talking for a month now) is stronger than in the past. I am scared but am willing to take the leap. Are we just fooling ourselves? What was so amazing for us as kids is that we were each others first love (lasted 2 years b4 I moved) but we never complicated it with being THAT intimate. Please share ur thoughts.

I for one believe it is possible..I moved away from my first love and we were seperated for almost 15 years..Fate pushed us back into the same town. All of those feelings were still there..we were married within a month of my moving back..That was 20 years ago and we are still very happy together. We weren't the same people we had been either, we both did alot of growing up in those years, but the feelings didn't change or diminish.

that's fine. most of people loved while their childhood. and such kind of love is hard to be forgotten even entire life. it is really a fairytale that first love last until marriage in such a weird world. but i recommend you give it more time to communicate before you finally make choice, since things can change a lot while 17 years. in my experience, the person i meet after even 10 years is absolutely not the one i used to be familiar with.
