During July of 2010, I was having a great time of depression, I had just lost my boyfriend of over a year and things were very difficult to bear. At the time, my friend Connor was very close to me.

We had met in math class and we always talked. We were both on track together and we always talked. he always helped me with my problems and talked with me through everything. Connor was tall, pale, and had beautiful dark brown hair. He had a very skinny build, yet he was very muscular and very strong. His eyes were the most beautiful color in the world. They changed colors from light green to light blue. I always adored looking at them to try and figure out what color they were each day. He never seemed to mind.

Eventually of course, I got a slight crush on one of my best friends. He had told me first that he had feelings for me and it left me speechless. He was a great guy, he had a huge heart and he was very nice. I was very happy to hear someone as great as Connor had feelings for me. They weren’t much more then a crush though, until that one day.

Both Connor and I are the biggest nerds. We both loved to play SNES (super nitendo) and he challenged me to a competition. We wanted to see who was better and Super Mario World, one of my favorite games. I had such a crush on him, so I said yes. I didn’t think much of it, nor did he, but we had it planned. For two weeks before the day I was supposed to go over I was so excited. All I could think about was that day and all I could talk about was him. This didn’t seem odd to me, because that’s normally what happens when you have a crush and when you’re very excited about something.

July 31st, the day of our competition, I was a nervous wreck. I tried so hard to make my makeup perfect and I made sure everything was great. My mom gave me a necklace that morning. One I had been searching for forever. It was a dove and it was perfect. I wore that and an orange shirt with a cheetah on it. When he texted me to say he’d be right there to pick me up my heart started to beat so fast. I wanted everything to be perfect. I didn’t quite know what to expect. When he arrived at my house I walked outside and saw him sitting in his mom’s car, I hadn’t seen him since school. He looked so wonderful. I got in the car and I remember it was a slightly awkward ride, but for some odd reason, I felt okay, safe, happy. We got to his house and he asked what I wanted to do, and I said I wanted to play Super Mario like we planned. He was genuinely shocked. He thought that I just wanted an excuse to see him. So we went into his room, where his SNES was. He put in the game and we sat down on his bed to play. I wanted to be close to him, but I didn’t know how he felt. I wasn’t doing to hot at Super Mario, he’s amazing at that game. Eventually he won. He decided to put in Yoshi’s Island, a game I had never played and let me play. I got sick of it, as it was very hard and let him play. Earlier in the week he had told me that he was very ticklish, and that was the only hope for me to beat him. We were laying next to each other on his bed, and I felt like it was a good time to test it out. I grabbed his side and he started to giggle and moved toward me a little. I thought that it was the perfect ticket to get him to be close to me. So I just kept tickling him, and he just kept moving closer. It felt so natural laying beside him. He put down the game and turned onto his back with my hand on his chest and we just talked. We talked about nothing and everything and I just stared into his beautiful eyes. He looked straight at me and kissed me. He kissed me with such a passion. That one kiss just swept me off my feet. As we stopped, he went to say something, but he hesitated. We just went on talking with other things and he gave me a huge hug and kiss before I left. On the eight of August he asked me out and we became official. Within three days of that he told me he loved me and had ever since our first kiss. He said that’s what he wanted to say in the moments after we kissed. I told him I almost did the same. We were so in love.

When I think back on it now, my necklace, which my mom gave me the morning of July 31st, was a sign. I had been searching for a dove necklace just like that one forever. I found it that day, as I found the love of my life, the guy I was searching for. We’ve been together for seven months now and everything has been amazing. We take trips to the beach and we spend so much time together. I love him more then anything and that one simple kiss was all it took.
