First Love Never Dies!

I was 16 years old when I first fall in love and had a girlfriend. I thought it will last forever. We where young then and her parents are not in favor of our relationship. So we secretly had that relationship for almost 2 and a half year, until her parents found out about us and she was locked in their house. I never set foot inside their house (just on their pence, if ever I will be giving her flowers at night). I send a female friend to their house to ask her if my gf is ok, but it turns out that my first love was breaking up with me. I was young and not realizing the possibilities of my actions, I went to their house to visit her. Put what I faced that night was her angry father, threatening to hurt me. Good thing there is this pence. They even send me to the barangay captain (community leader for those who don't know barangay). The captain asked me if we have a relationship, although that captain is one of the people who knew that we we have a relationship. To make the story short, after 20 years we are not living just in an opposite house. Yes, we are neighbors. And to tell you that truth, "First love does die". She never looks at me at the eye until now, she even became my student in one of the computer classes that I taught. But she never spokes to me in 20 years. I am 100% sure that the love that I felt for her before was no more. I just don't know if she feels the same way. But I no longer care whatever she fells. I love my wife and my children.

Haha, how silly it is when we experience our first love! We thought everything in the world is that a real and true love we have found and we fought for it no matter what. I can relate you bro, my first girlfriend comes from a well off family and I how her parents was so strict. We made our relationship secret although I never step foot in their house we dated other places anyways, but later parents found out and let the girl study to other school. I felt awful and never had a night that I couldn't sleep thinking life is over.. hahaha. Looking back, I just had to laugh loud about yesterdays misery although I saw the girl once, but the feelings is over and so she said she has no feelings with me as well, we remain friends though and both were happily married.

We just play the hand we're dealt in life. Sometimes things work out, a lot of the time they don't. I met my first boyfriend when I was 16, he was 19. I didn't think it would last because I was only 16. I'm now 23 and we've been married over two years.

First love is very special in our lives. i believe that we always keep a piece of our first love alive in our hearts. I don't think that feeling will ever die.

Jamed...its truely a great sacrifice you have given. I know its difficult to forget your first love...but it is also a fact that when you are in relationship or married to another person you have to chose your priorities. Bcos the person you are living with has chosen to live with you out of faith and trust....

I really hope only few could experience what I'd been through. But this experience makes me a man. It makes me grew to a more mature person.

If you experience real love and that is your first love I agree if its just infatuation I don't believe that it would never die.

I have been married happily for 15 years but my daughter just recently got married. It is her that can really and honestly tell you your first real love doesn't die completely. Though the feelings aren't strong it's always going to be there on the corner of your heart. Just enough that when certain things come up it'll tug on your heart and you go I remember that with this person. It's not that you still love her but the fact that you remember what you had and you care.

Your story seems to be interesting. But please tell me one thing-Why a person cannot love two or even more persons (irrespective of type of relationship)? If you are married and have children, it is good that you love your wife and your children. However, you love for that girl (your first love) will not vanish and you should keep it alive in your heart. YOu should always pray for her better future. Only thing to be taken care of is that you should not cross your limits. That is you should not enter into any physical relationship with her now. Let the love be silent.

For me if you decided to let go of your first love and moved on then eventually that love will die. I always believe that time will always heal the wound. What you cannot truly forget is the person you used to love and all the memories that you shared. You will always remember the person but you can't remember the feelings anymore. ^.^

First love will never die.I think you remember your memory between you and her very impressively.Maybe this is your first love sense.

For me, the best way to say this is that you cannot really forget you first love. It is not necessarily that the love is still there, but you still remember the girl/boy but not necessarily the feelings anymore... Well, these are the best things that i could say for the moment because luckily I am still with my first love right now. And both of us feel so blessed because our families, by far are not against our relationship.
