Do you ever?

Do you ever really get over your first love? I was just wondering because I just don't see that happening for me. We broke up a long, long time ago but sometimes, I see/hear/ remember things that have something to do with him and I just wanna smile or cry or feel kind of sad.

I hate him so much but, I love him more. I'm not IN love with him but, I just can't see myself NOT having some sort of feelings for him.

Do you know what I mean?

In my opinion, every person you love will somehow be a part of you. Love is one of the strongest emotions a human being can feel and it makes sense that it will be one that will last the longest. You wouldn't be the person today if it wasn't for all the adventures and love lives which you have lived through to date. Love could be as profound as grief for a fallen loved one in a sense that it takes a life time to forget someone who means so much to you and who also experienced a premature death.
I haven't seen nor heard from the girl i like for a while now, but like you, Jackie, so many things i come accross through my daily life remind me of her to the extent that it feels like she is still with me. It is as if she never left me. On the bright side, it is a sign that you and i are still human and that we are forever bounded by the people whom we have shared our dreams and spirit with. All i can say now is that the deeper ur affection for him is, the longer you will remember him. It is not a curse, it is a memory. I hope you know what i mean.
Good luck and take care!!! 8)

I dont think you ever fully get over your first love i havn't and it's been 4 years. You'll always feel something for him/her even if you don't fancy him

i dont think so

of course not

i definetley disagree

you will, trust me, when you get out of 'Single World', you wont really care about your first love that doesnt give a shit about you anymore, you will care about who is with you now

Thanks everyone.

Hope, your reply was so beautiful. Made me all teary eyed *sniffles*

TC, I don't really want to not care about him. I think I love him in a different way. As much as it kind of stings when I see him with someone else, I know we're over and I want him to be happy. Actually, I want him to stop smoking, stop drinking, stop acting like a man-ho and stop talking drugs. I love him and I wish him all the happiness in the world.

Oh you get over them

But you never forget them, your first love...

You know what I always think about? I always wonder...he's my first love but, does HE consider ME to be his first love? I mean, for months he was all, I love you and I've never felt like this before, I know we're going to last for ages and probably get married and I'd die without you... but, I guess you never really know what it's like on the other side. God, if he knew how it is for me, he'd be scared.

I've moved on but I haven't forgotten about my first love and its been 4 years now....
