Started in 3rd grade.
We'd always catch each others eye and occasionally talk with, laugh, and tease each other but nothing other than that.
We ended going to the same middle school. Came in first day of 7th grade saw her.
She was rail thin when we were kids but she'd definitely hit puberty.

Primitive instinct kicked in and I couldn't let the chance go. We dated from 7th grade all the way up until we split in high school.
I still have some of the notes she wrote me in middle school. The first time she told me she loved me...

She's the first girl I ever brought home. Mom & pops let her come over numerous times and we'd swim in the pool or sit in the den.
They wouldn't let us close any doors (

) but we had fun regardless.
A year or so after we split, she ended up pregnant but with her personality, was able to reel in a guy to marry her anyway.
Her personality was the best part about her, tbh. I've never enjoyed being around any other female I've dated as much as I enjoyed being with her.
I think we spent just as much time laughing at and picking on each other as we did being lovey dovey.
Invited me to her upcoming wedding but I won't be able to make it.
Last time I saw her was a few days before Christmas in the mall.
Was awkward because I was there with my current gf who had come home with me.
She works one of the jewelry booths.
I semi dodged a bullet because she may have been built like a stallion in high school, but she's blown up considerably since.
I actually got her in her prime. Despite her weight gain, our chemistry was still there just the same, though.
Our personalities have always meshed so easily.
That chick was my baby girl & best friend so I hope she's happy with whomever she settles down with.
