Love is a painful and dificult thing to deal with.  Some people wonder how they know if they are in love.  It isn't an easyt thing to determine.  How do you know if you are in love or not???  It takes time to know that kind of stuff, how do i know this... you say im only 13, i wouldn't know wat love is... well think again.
   I have been in love only twice in my life, and i still love both of those guys that meant the world to me.  Their names are Stephen James Arnold and Kenneth Benjamin Meinders.  When i was with either one of them my life felt complete.
   Let me tell you a little bit about Stephen.  I met him in Kindergarten and we had always been just friends.  In 3rd grade i developed a huge crush on him, but didnt tell no one till 4th grade.  he found out at the end of that year and then asked me out at the start of 5th grade.  What do you think i said??? I said yes of course.  We were happy and i knew i was in love.  he was the first love of my life.  The way i knew i was in love with him was: whenever we were together i got that butterfly feeling in my stomach, and i didnt mind waiting for him to be ready to take our relationship to the next step... he made me feel loved, special, and he let me be myself.  I also knew, because when we broke up i found myself trying to get him back... i did every thing i could!.. i will never forget him.
   Now let me tell you a little bit about Kenneth(a.k.a. Ben).  He was the second love of my life and i still love him very much!  We started datin on april 18th, at 9:23p.m.   then we broke up June 14th( i dont know wat time)  The bad thing is, i dumped him cuz he cheated on me..... he begged me to take him back for the next 2weeks, but i said no cuz i was still so mad at him. then like a few days later i came to my senses and realized that he was the guy for me, but now he is dating some stupid tramp!  I love him so much, and will forever!...i hope one day he will decide to give me another chance and we can continue to be a happy couple as we were before.
   so for all you people out there who are looking for love, just think to yourself: are you happy with this person, can you be yourself with this person, can you live without this person, and how does this person make you feel.   That is wat i did and that is how i know if i love the person i am with or not.... and that is how i came to the conclusion that i loved kenneth benjamin meinders and stephen james arnold.
