first sight

three years ago, i was in 6th grade. on the first day of school Nathan Miller walked in, and i said "hey band boy", then he looked at me, smiled, blushed, then walked away. he was wearing a green nirvana shirt..i'll never forget.

that's the day i knew i was in love. he asked me out a couple months later, but i said no. we became very close best friends. then finally on april 6, 2009 i said yes. & we dated for a year and a half...we never even kissed. he knew everything about me and i knew everything about him. we hung out and talked and he was my best friend.

but in september 2010 we started to drift apart and fight constantly. a week later, i broke up with him. i cried for over 3 months. and sometimes i still do... now he hates me and won't even look at me. he told me he never loved me. i see him everyday in tech, and it breaks my heart cause i know i'm meant to be with him. i'll always be in love with him.

it's almost a year since our breakup and everyone including friends, family, and myself know that i'm still deeply in love with him. but i know he'll never love me again.
