Have You Ever Wondered What Happened To Your First True Love

No, because I married him.

[Pianomama]

We kept in touch over the years. Sadly he passed away on the operating table during surgery.

[issiestorm]

Heck no. Couldn't care less.

[unicornarts]

no, not really

Married, divorced and he died a few weeks ago...........

[LilacTree]

He was my high school love and we were a "couple" in a strange way for half our junior year and all of our senior year. He would drive me home from school every day, we would sit together at basketball games, and in the soda shop, and we finally kissed at a graduation party, with our friends jumping up and down beside his car yelling "Finally, finally!!" I will never forget that night. However, once we actually started seeing each other, let's just say it was the mid-fifties and my moralities were not ready for what he was finally ready for . . . so it ended, unrequited and unforgotten. I've never again loved anyone the same way I loved him.

I saw him again 20 years later, still working his father's gas station. He asked me to lunch, but I said no, because I was moving south the very next weekend. He was married and I was divorced.

I saw him again two years ago when he was in the area. He has a huge trucking company now and has done very well for himself. We met at a diner, had a bowl of soup, and shared a cookie. We talked for about an hour. We hugged in the parking lot. He said he'd call me again, and he did. He said he would be down again soon . . . but that never happened. I'm fine with it, I still see him the way I saw him when we were 18, and I know I'll never forget him. He was my lifetime unrequited love . . . and that's probably the way it should end.

[ETA: I added that too late for it to overwrite my original response.]

I thought unrequited love was one sided love. Are you saying you've loved him all your life and he never reciprocated?

(Can't get the "quote" to happen.) I probably am using "unrequited" in the wrong way. "Unconsummated" might be the better term. I believe he wanted to be with me the way a boy wants to be with a girl, but I didn't let that happen. Whenever there were parties, I would never go, but then everyone would tell me "Walter was asking where you were." I wanted Walter to ask me to go with him, but he never did.

I think I can put it this way. I doubt he ever loved me the way I loved him. He may have thought of me sometimes through the years, but never the way I thought of him. He dated a lot of the girls from high school after me, after graduation, and I knew who they were. And it always hurt me terribly. And he wound up marrying a bathing suit model whom I had never met.

I forgot to say he called me three years after graduation . . . but three years was a very long time then, and I was already engaged to someone else . . . someone who was just like me. But that's a whole different story.
