For the past eight months I worried about my relationship changing not only because of the distance between us, but what Chris was going through in Iraq. I wasn’t sure how he was going to act when he came back and I always wondered if we would feel and act differently towards each other. I had fears, but they were completely washed away the second I saw his face.
After the first minute of holding each other, things just seemed to fall right back into place.
Laying in bed with him that night, I looked at him and told him I loved him. He looked right back at me and said, “I love you more.”
This brings up my question…. could young love really turn into true love?

I consider young love to be love between two teenagers. Its hard to put a direct age on it, but sometimes I believe it is hard to love someone else, when you really aren’t even sure who you are yet.
Chris Brown has a song called young love. The chorus goes like this:
”Since we aint 21 they be tryin say it aint love(a teenage love)
’cause we cant hit tha clubs they be tryin say we’re too young(a teenage love)
I aint sayin that we’re tryin be grown
I’m jus sayin that we’re old enough to know we got tha Young Love, Young Love, We lucky we got that Young Love”
Does it turn into true love when we hit 21? Is it ever true love? Sometimes I wonder if ‘young love,’ love with no worries, no fights and no hassle is the real true love.
Come on now! Love now-a-days is crazy. There are books, articles and websites dedicated on how to find love or how to go about loving someone. Or the best are sites that want to calculate love for you! ( <—-Try that site out.. I entered Chris and Alicia into the blanks and we got that our relationship only has an 11% chance of working out!!!!!)
I look at my relationship with Chris and I realize that no one can explain love to you. No one could tell you how you are going to feel when your boyfriend comes home from Iraq. Or how you are going to feel when your boyfriend of 6 years admits to cheating on you and wants to leave. No one can explain to you what to do when you are on the dating scene and just keep striking out.
Love is complicating, but here is my advice. Take love as love comes. Do not go out looking for it. True love just happens…. let it happen. Don’t find it, it will find you.
It found me and is still living strong!
Thanks for, as they use to say back in my day, “keepin it real.” What does your boyfriend think of your blog?
