Do you remember your first love?

While this query could be answered by anyone, it's aimed at the older members here. The older you are, the more relevant this question will be.

Do you remember your first love? How long ago were you together, and what was the duration of the relationship? At the time, did you feel like you couldn't or wouldn't ever forget them, and hoped to stay in touch for as long as possible? As you grew apart from them (for whatever reason) as your life progressed, how did it make you feel, and how do you feel about them now?

I'm just wondering how time has affected the relationship you had with the first person you've ever loved. Do share any stories!

How ya doing, buddy?

While you were in the relationship (or in the months after), was the prospect of dis-communication with the other in your future unfathomable? How did that idea change as time went on?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

@ Sass: Yeah, that question was directed at everyone, but your response confirmed that I was phrasing my question the right way.

The change you two are referring to is the difficult part for me right now. Perhaps I am in denial that I will eventually move away from this person, but right now the idea of close friendship is something I don't want to let go of. I guess only time will tell what happens, and patience is going to play a large role.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

How did the realization (that you wouldn't be close to her like you were before) play out? Was it just a fact that you had to accept over time?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
