Everyone remembers their first true love. Perhaps this is because you did everything special for the first time together. Your first true love would be the first person you ever kissed for the first time. They are probably the ones that made your heart beat loud and fast every time you saw them around and when they touched your hands, you went speechless. They could also be the only ones who made everything stand still. Your first true love could have got you into a lot of trouble. The first time I ever disobeyed my parents was when my first true love came into my life.

My first true love taught me the most memorable of all lessons. I call him my first true love because I truly loved him. You might have noticed that I used the past tense here; this is because I am no longer with my first true love. It is very sad that he left, but let's not get into that now. First, let me tell you what my true love taught me. My first true love taught me to be patient, understanding and all the good values of life. In fact, when I look back at my life with my first true love, there was never a day that went by without him not teaching me a valuable lesson.

My first true love taught me almost everything and though he is no longer with me, I will always live to appreciate it. Before I met him, I was selfish and self centered. Everything had to be mine. When my first true love came into my life, he slowly started teaching me about love. He made sure that I understood that there were different kinds of love. He taught me that love is never jealous and above all, it is never selfish. Without realizing it, I was learning from him. I was still the bad person that I was and one day he was gone!

My first true love left me, yes he left me. Even though he left, I still call him my first true love. This is because I do believe with all my heart that he was my first true. They say that your true love never leaves, they do. Sometimes you have to let someone go before they realize that you were actually important? That is what my first true love did to me. I never thought he was that important. After he left, I realized that he really was important and I was really hurt. The funny part about all the lessons I learnt from my true love is that. I realized that he was actually teaching me after he left. Before that, I did not see the lessons he was trying to put across. I was just too thick at that time to get it. The people who have come into my life after my first true love have had better treatment from me than my first true love. I look back at our love and wonder why it had to end, but I am not sorry, I learnt a lot from it.
