Relationships

what comes to mind when you here the term "high school relationship" or "high school sweet heart"? Maybe the stereotypical fluke of a relationship, maybe the school quarterback and head cheerleader..Well, the women in my family met their husbands in high school, in fact, their senior year. Who knows when you'll meet the one for you, will you ever? Is there such thing as true love or is it just lust in disguise. As for me? I had an abusive boyfriend, a cheating boyfriend, and a flat out jerk. My senior year, I finally had some time with the guy I'd been eye-balling for a year or so. Just thinking about it makes me get butterflies. Reflecting upon that day, I remember everything. What I was wearing, the way he smelled, the way he looked, the way his voice sounded when he asked me who I liked... the awkward ride back to school, the tension for weeks to share that first initial kiss. We've been dating for one year, I'm in college he is in high school. It gets tough, but I don't think we are the stereotypical love story. We've traveled together, we've squabbled, we've cried, laughed, done it all! At the end of the day, we love each other. I recently asked him, what defines love? He gave me his definition, different and the same as mine (yes, at the same time). How do you define love? How do you know it is sincere?

You don't; but thats the thrill of it all.
