What is love?
Well love is anything.
Your Food,
Your TV,
Your bed,
Your favorite chair at the dinner table,
Your favorite show on netflix,
Your family,
Your favorite pair of shoes,
Your favorite swear word, (yes we all have one..)
You thought of one didn't you..;)
Anything is love.
BUT...
What is "Falling in Love"
Have we ever fallen in love?
Have you ever fallen in love?
Have I ever fallen in love?
I have fallen in love.
We were in fifth grade.
I didn't know much about you but I knew you, I saw you.
To me you were perfect.
We met, and fell in as much love as little 11 year old's could be.
I can still remember people laughing at me for liking you, but I didn't care.
We were "In Love"
I can still remember the first time we hugged.
So awkward.
It was like a first kiss for a high school student.
But still so perfect.
So unique.
So different. More different then anything I had ever felt.
Fifth grade went by,
we entered sixth and were still,
"In Love"
I felt something different for you then I ever had.
As so young as 12 years old I was,
"In Love"
We left elementary school, into our new lives of middle school.
Parted our ways to different places.
New people.
New Love.
Can kids so young as 11 fall in love is the real question.
I believe yes they can... because I did.
I still am in love just from those two small years.
But it was perfectly imperfect.
Saying "I Love You." so young was so silly yet..so REAL.
But I will never forget the way my little heart beat every time I saw him.
Every time we saw each other I got nervous.
Like it was the first time.
I will always Love him.
Because as for now,
That has been the only time I have ever
"Fallen In Love"
"So young was so silly yet..so REAL." The best thing about elementary school was liking someone. It meant the world to me as a kid. This post was really cute. Thank you :)

I have one of these. Your childhood love is the one you never forget. Beautifully written. I loved it.
