When I was younger, around the ages of 12-14, I had feelings for a select few. Strong ones for a certain someone. You could even say I was "obsessed" with him, with what girly nature I had back then. I'm not going to go into detail here, but basically I didn't see him for a long time after he moved away. I don't know about most females, but when you like someone for a long time then they move away.. the next time you see them face to face, all those old feelings rejuvinate themselves.
That's what happened when I saw him again for the first time in a long time. Now, when you're a "little girl" and you have a major crush on someone, you don't SERIOUSLY think anything would ever happen between the two of you and you especially don't see anything happening in the future, either. Lies. That kid that I was obsessed with years ago, I'm now dating. He's my boyfriend. And I'm in love with the kid.
You'd really, really have to understand how I am, to realize that it seems almost impossible for me to ever love someone so much, or to even be in a relationship. I carry alot of baggage, which most of it has to deal with insecurities, self-esteem issues and low confidence. He made them go away within the first week. So either I loosened up to the point where it'd be considered a miracle, or this kid is just that good. I'd put my money on the latter, though.
I was always tense. Always checking myself for reasons to why someone would look at me weird or judge me. It was a necessity for me. Around him, I don't feel like I need to do it. It feels like all the tension I carried over the years have suddenly just.. drifted away and even if I wanted them back, I couldn't find them again. I don't know HOW to be insecure around him. What's even harder for me to swallow is that the same person that makes me feel so care-free and good about myself, is the obsession of my childhood. It's like a double whammy. Seriously. How could I not be in love with him, then? I wouldn't even know where to begin in disliking him. And I don't want to, either.
