Love... Its not something you decide to feel, It not like... 'o he’s cute, I'm going to like him' Its just happens, one day you'll see him You've probably seen him many times before but for some reason this time is different, there’s something there, something that you never realized before. You can't take your eyes off him, and you start to get this feeling in the pit of your stomach. It doesn’t hurt but it’s like a sinking feeling and suddenly you feel like throwing up. But then again you'll like this feeling, because the feeling you get once he leaves will be so much worse. It will be an indescribable pain, and you'll just feel empty inside. You'll begin to look for him where ever you go, start dreaming about him at night. Every love song that you hear will make you think of him. Suddenly it will be harder to talk to him, and you won’t understand why your words aren’t coming out right. You'll start over analyzing everything you say to him, you'll think that everything you say sounds stupid. But what ever he says to you will be just perfect. You see him differently then everyone else, the room will light up when ever he walks in, and everything is always better when he’s there... You'll find him someday and the feeling will be amazing... I just hope that it works out better for you than it did for me, I hope he finds you too - Sara Anne

There will come a time in your life when you will become infatuated with a single soul. For this person you'd do anything and not think twice about it, but when asked why ... you have no answer.

And no matter how badly you hate it or how badly it hurts ... you'll love this person without regret, for the rest of your life.

Sure, you're supposed to have total recall of who won the Battle of Hastings and what motivated Hamlet. And probably you should be able to label all five Great Lakes. Perhaps you can...Perhaps it's easier to remember that first kiss. Or the time you and your friends couldn't stop laughing in math class. Or your locker combination or cafeteria mystery meat or the scintillating scent in the air when you-know-who glided past your desk... Or maybe it's easier to remember the thrill of passing the final or the fun of the last homecoming game or hugging your best friends in the world goodbye and knowing you'd be in touch forever... But still, wondering just a little...Will we always remember?
