15 Things I Wish I Told my First Boyfriend

A love letter 30 years later

1. We’re going to change and we may grow apart. It’s okay. Change is good. We will become different people, but our relationship will help shape who we are down the road.
2. You are a wonderful and kind person. Let’s not waste this special time.
3. We should spend more time with our families, a day may come when they will no longer be around.
4. Go back to school, we’re so young and you can be anything you set your mind to.
5. You are smarter than you think.
6. Eat healthily and exercise, we won’t be 16 forever.
7. The world is ours, we can do anything, go anywhere, we can design our lives starting today.
8. 30 years from now we may not be together, but 30 years from now you will still have a place in my heart.
9. It’s okay if we don’t see each other every day, it’s okay to miss each other, it’ll make our time together that much better.
10. I will forgive you for cheating on me, it’ll just take time but I will.
11. I will forgive you for falling in love with someone else, life happens.
12. I will forgive you for breaking up with me, and when I see my son the same age as you when we were together, I will then understand how young we were.
13. We are not perfect, but you are still worthy of a full and enriched life, as am I.
14. You will be more significant in my life than either of us will ever know.
15. And finally, when I sit back and watch both my children with their first loves, a special part of me remembers ours.

To my very first love…
