my best friend found love at 13. The first girl he ever actually liked. They started dating, fell in love and it stayed
It stayed.
They faced difficulties, sure, but they always without a single doubt had each other, they did and would do absolutely anything for each other. They laughed and they cried but it was worth it for them to see each other smile. Even their kisses seem pristine, pure love, nothing sexual just pure beautiful expression of love. i've said it many times, boyfriends and girlfriends will come and go, but no one will their girlfriend more than my best friend loves his. They look at each other and nothing else and nobody else matters. I've watched this for years, i've watched them for years. They're the only reason i believe in love, the only reason i believe that there in fact is a person made just for you whose mere existence makes life better. I've seen them bright each others days just with a look, i've seen them cry over each other's problems, i've seen them hold hands for the first time, i've seen them make out, i've seen them have no form of communication through the entire lock down and still be as much, if not even more in love with each other. I've third wheeled them for ages, enough to know what loves looks like and enough to realise i'll probably never have that. I think, 20 years from now, i'll be taking care of their kids, i'll make a cool aunt, i'll tell the kids how their parents used to sneak into classrooms to kiss, i'll tell them how much i love their parents, the ones who showed me the purest form of love and they'll ask me if I have that and i'll say no.
i'll say no. I tried to find it, to find someone who liked me, to find something that made me feel like i was loved. I got crushes, i got rejected, I never fell in love with a person, maybe i fell in love with the ideas of the relationship i imagined with them, but not with the person. I only knew love from what i saw about it, never from what i felt, because all i have ever felt is momentary attraction, attachment to the idea of love and rejection.
But this not about me.
This is about my best friend.
My best friend who fell in love at 13
and it stayed .
