1. Your First Kiss
I’m not talking about the first time you kissed someone; I’m talking about the first time you kissed someone you were truly in love with. You will always remember where and especially when it happened, what you were wearing, how you were sitting and how you felt afterwards (like walking on clouds, of course).
2. Their Smile
This is one of the details about your first love that will always stay with you. People often say that they remember the beautiful smile of their first love, even if they don’t love them anymore. This is one of those things that will stick with you no matter what.
***
A smile can serve as a timeless, emotional bookmark in the chapters of our memory. It's as if that unique grin, with its tender curves and silent promises, were etched into the very fabric of our minds. Even years later, a chance encounter with a similar smile can transport you back to those carefree days of youthful infatuation. The reminiscence of shared laughter and bashful grins during stolen moments is often a poignant reminder of the innocence and simplicity of that first special connection. It's a universal memento that transcends the boundaries of language and time, a symbol of the joy that once was.

No matter how long your first love lasted, a week, a month, a year or longer, you’ll always remember those happy times.

You’ll even remember all the fights and all the ugly memories, but you now realize that they don’t hurt so much anymore.
6. Why You Broke up
This is another huge thing about your first love that you will never forget. It’s actually extremely hard to forget a first love break-up. Even if you don’t think about whose fault it was anymore, you can still feel the pain you experienced when the break-up happened.

Maybe your first love found someone else that they were interested in or maybe you had a new crush. Whatever the situation, this is another thing regarding the first person you feel in love with that you will never forget.
You will also never forget those important lessons that you learned in that wonderful time in your life, especially how strong you are and how that experience defines the way you see love today. What do you remember about your first love? Please share your thoughts with us in the comments section!

Sabi: Mine literally lasted a month of exclusively dating, we are just friends now. I have feelings for him now. I just want them to go.
Jenna-Jasia: I recently split up from my true love because of our family circumstances. I miss him everyday and I try not to think about him or look at pictures/texts we shared or anything that reminds me of him. But no matter how hard I try, I cannot get the memories out of my mind. With the memories comes every emotion I felt at the time, I remember every detail even the fragrance of hotels/restaurants we went to. I agree with Francesca, things happen at the right time. I watched a movie once which has a certain dialogue that comes to mind, "everything has a time, that time was not for us but today time is allowing us to accept our love."
Francesca: Great article! I thought growing up that the first person you kissed was your first love. But it's not true, I am 26 and I have yet found my first love. But I am in no rush because the right person will come around. When you are younger you feel like you're in love but it's not love. So don't feel hopeless, things in your life happens at the right time.
peony: @Gabrielle you will find the one. Don't put too much emphasis on it. Just go out and enjoy life and you will find the one trusted you will.
Akki: He ain't my first but will be my last. I know it has been 3 months since our "break up" but still I'll be waiting. Even if it takes a forever. :)
Justina: my boyfriend and I of eight months broke up about a month ago and I believe he was my first love. I'm still not over it and it still hurts because whenever i go anywhere I think "____ did this funny thing here" or "yeah ______ said something like that once". just yesterday I drove through the place he told me he lived in when he was younger and I got emotional in the car
Nancy: Im with my first love now. Been together 1 year 3months. I feel he is my one and only true love. And to everyone else i hope you guys find love again. Everyone deserves love💞
Gabby: Currently with my first love, almost 5 months in. It hasn't been long, but I really hope we last!
Jennifer: It took me 10 years to get over my first true love, while married even
RXTree: I still feel sad after all these years
