The Story of the Boy Who Changed Me

You've changed me in ways nobody else has…

I never have the best of luck with relationships so I just have given up on trying to find someone in my life to keep me happy, until one night when everything changed. Last January I got a notification on my phone about a message someone sent me on Instagram, and of course I didn’t think anything of it besides the fact that it’s probably one of my friends sending me a funny video that they saw but I was wrong. It was in my requested section, and I saw his name on the screen. That name that I won’t ever forget and to this day brings me happiness and sadness all at once. We started just having a random conversation, and of course with the typical “hey, can I have your snap?” So, then he started commenting on all my snaps and just texting me off there for a while. I never thought anything of it; I just thought of him as another boy. As we began texting more and more and finally one night decided to FaceTime each other, it hit me that I actually have feelings for him and he felt the same way. We instantly connected and our first “meeting” over FaceTime wasn’t awkward at all. He is just as social as me if not even more than I am, same sense of humor as me, and basically just the same personality almost.

Still wasn’t getting my hopes up; we continued to talk and then finally met in person and hung out on Valentine’s Day. After that day, I knew that maybe I had another chance of being happy with someone. But I certainly didn’t know what I was getting myself into. Not being in a relationship for over two years because I was so scared of being hurt and let down again. But this boy changed everything I thought of. I was the girl who wanted to always take things slow get to know them and just progress from there. He made me feel as if we’ve known each other forever, and he changed me in ways nobody else has ever done. I was the girl who always wore makeup everyday no matter what because I just didn’t feel beautiful about myself until he asked me one day why I always wear makeup around him and that he would still feel the same about me even when I didn’t wear makeup. So, even to this day, because of him I feel confident enough to not wear it. He taught me how to love myself again and showed me that I am just as beautiful without getting all dolled up.

He became my best friend in a matter of weeks and I still don’t regret that. We become so close so quickly, and it was crazy. I was always there for him and came over three out of the seven days of the week to his house. Driving over a half an hour just to go see him for 2–3 hours, and it didn’t matter what we did either, just watching Netflix, going to dinner, or hanging out with his family I was still just as happy.

I became not only so close with him, but I became so close with his family as well so every time I was over they felt more and more like a second family to me than anything else, and I cherished that so much. This boy became my everything in just a matter of months. I was the happiest I’ve been in years and I was loving every second of it. We were the dynamic duo; I had him, he had me. I was always there to support him in Rugby and cheered him on even though I didn’t have the slightest clue what was going on. His friends became my friends and we all instantly clicked together. But, just like in every relationship, we had our days, we had good days, and we had our bad days. The good days were of course my favorite, laughing and smiling without a care in the world because we had each other. But, the bad days, they really tore me apart. My day was always ruined when we fought. Soon Prom came around, and this was the day I was waiting for my entire senior year, and I was so happy that I finally had a date to go with. He made that night special for me and treated me the way every girl wished to be treated. A few weeks go by and we started fighting a lot more than usual over really dumb things, and it just progressed into this huge thing that we both knew we couldn’t save. I knew it was coming to an end, but in my heart, I couldn’t let go no matter how much pain I was in. Then one day it was just over and I never felt my heart break more than it did that day. I forgot all this time how it felt being heartbroken but this, this pain I was feeling was something so much more painful than just a regular heartbreak. I didn’t just lose my best friend but I lost myself in the middle of all this sadness. I forgot to love myself as well. I continued my senior year in heartbreak. I tried to hide it as best as I could but always ended up at night just crying myself asleep wishing for all the good times to come back. Summer came along, and soon enough he wasn’t anywhere close to me and our friends became just my friends. We spent every single day together all hanging out and laughing. We made it the best summer ever, but of course no matter how hard I tried, I still had a piece of him that I missed when I was with our friends. Then one day out of the blue he came back into my life and we remained friends and to this day still are friends, but every time I see him I can’t help but have my heart filled with happiness because it makes me feel like everything is back to normal, but I know reality will hit me once we both go back to our colleges and live our lives.

No matter how hard I try there is just something about this guy that I cannot let go of. I always refer to the quote, “If you truly love something set it free, if it comes back it was meant to be and if not then it wasn’t really yours.” I truly did and still do love this guy no matter the past and I know that when you really do love someone you never stop and I now finally believe that. There isn’t a day that goes by that I miss him more than words can describe and wish him the very best of luck in life even if that means me not being with him. But the important thing for him is to always and forever know that wherever life may take us in separate ways or back together that I have and always will love him.
