I don't know if my response qualifies but i'm still going ahead and type it anyway just to honor this nice and positive thread. :)

I met the love of my life after I had turned 16. We quickly became good friends despite the fact that she couldn't love me back the way I wanted her to.
She was about two years older than I was, and so cool and relaxed I wished I could be just like she was.
She was also very understanding and probably suspected all along how I felt about her despite me not telling her about any of it at the time.

I felt party ashamed of myself and how I was feeling.

It was only years later I wrote her a letter and openly confessed to her how much I loved her then, and how much I still love her today. She would become my muse for my writing and makes sometimes cameo apperences in my stories.

In my mind we were a couple back then, and sometimes I still think about her that way despite not seeing her in years. She's happily married now, so i'm feeling happy for her as well.

After she left ( she went back to her own native country ) I began to unravel that summer and things changed for me.

Anyway, so sorry if this doesn't qualify. It's one of the happiest memories I have so I wanted to share it with you. :)

Take care ya all!
