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.

5. How Long Your First Love Lasted
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.

If you didn’t end up staying with your first love, you’ll not only remember the reasons that led to your break-up, you’ll also remember how you moved on. 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!

Natty: 8yrs of togetherness and then a sudden Drift.. Yeah it hurts but this is life!! And life Goes on
RXTree: I still feel sad after all these years
Csagoola: My first love and I dated for 5 years we met in college and the first words he said to me were I'm going to date you and we spent everyday over her after that. Our relationship was hard because he was in the military and constantly in other states but always made his back to me on the weekends and never missed a holiday except when he was deployed. To this day our break up seems ridiculous and I always thought we would end up back together. I still hope we do.
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💞
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
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."
peony: The first kiss lovely. The break up sad but I grew up and actually continued to enjoy the company of men. It is all part of life. Great post
Quin1226: I lost my virginity to my first love we broke up a week later it's been 2 months that we broke up and I don't think I'm over him yet. He wanted me to be friends with benefits with him but I can't be that with him , he is currently seeing other people and it hurts to know how much he changed but I will always be in love with the person who he was not who he is.
Gabrielle: 18 years & still searching.. Feeling hopeless
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.
