Promise of Love

I was in 6th grade when I met "him". Let's just call him M. We had a crush on each other since 5th grade but we became closer in 6th grade. He admitted to his friends that he had a crush on me, and then his friends started teasing us so we became shy and we never really spoke to each other since then.
Every day,even though we don't talk to each other, I notice that he keeps staring at me. Even my friends say so.
At our Christmas party. I picked his name to be the one I would exchange gifts with. I was so shy but still i was psyched!
On February 26, I was alone in the back of our school. He sat by me and asked me if I was angry at him. I could not help but laugh because I was so speechless. He apologized to me.
On our graduation day, he gave me present. It was a cute flushed toy. It was the 1st toy I ever took care of carefully because it was so special.
On the first day of high school, I heard his voice ... we walked together and I wished time would stop.
July 5, he asked me if he could be my suitor. My heart pounded hard, but I knew that I was too young to enter a relationship, so I asked him if he could wait for me. He said what he feels for me is truer than true.
We made a promise to each other that we will wait for each other and we already tell each other that we love each other.
We enjoy each other's presence, but I wonder if I am doing the right thing, hiding this from my family.
We truly love each other and we can wait ... but I'm still having doubts about what I'm doing and need advice!
Be the one your man adores and never wants to leave
