I was at one time interested in a girl and we went out once or twice but there was just never any peace. We kept trying to impress each other afraid that if we failed things wouldn't work out. Needless to say, they didn't.papyrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05359470770576197059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3254507.post-1148917897731163592006-05-29T11:51:00.000-04:002006-05-29T11:51:00.000-04:00I too had a first love that was an older man (23 t...I too had a first love that was an older man (23 to my 15). I often cringe to think about what he must have been thinking to be involved with a girl so young. Fortunately, the relationship ended before we crossed any line too fragile to repair. And yet, the experience helped make me who I am today so there must have been purpose in it.

It's exciting for awhile, but who wants to live like that forever?Kim G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02580039996408082406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3254507.post-1148859833837582512006-05-28T19:43:00.000-04:002006-05-28T19:43:00.000-04:00Interesting post, struck that you wouldn't want hi...Interesting post, struck that you wouldn't want him to see your life as is right now. Wondered if part of you wants to see you too again through the lens of possibilities of your 15 year old self? And if theres gifts in that for you now too, to remember that possibilities still abound for us all at every age.
