He Changed My Life



It all started freshmen year of high school. I walked up the steps leading to the rest of my life. The first few weeks were like a blur, everyone seemed to be aloof.
Then I met him. He had just moved from Scottsburg. He was the most amazing guy I had ever seen, he had gorgeous brown hair and green eyes, that could hypnotize you. He had a smile that could bring light to any darkness, and a laugh that would make you laugh even when you didn’t get the joke.
I knew I loved him right at that very second, but he would never be mine.
I knew he would find a clique he fit into and he would never notice me.
I was wrong.
A few days later a lunch my good friend brought him to our table and said “ hey guys this is Tyler, he’s going to hang out with us. If that’s ok? ”
Then he looked right at me, for the first time in my life I felt noticed. 
My friend pulled a chair up for him, and I was so surprised because he moved it so he could sit by me. My heart was already pounding, and I was so scared when I tried to talk no words would come out.
Just my luck he looked right at me and said “ hi, what’s your name? ”
You really know your in trouble when you cant remember your own name. Lord help me I thought.
After a few seconds, that felt like hours, I managed to say “I’m Lacy“. That was the last time we spoke the rest of that week. I just admired him from a far.
Then on Monday, a Monday of all days. He saw me in the hall way and said “ hey Lacy, how are you? ”
I was shocked but I had to think. Flirt… or not? Was it to early? Or wait was it to late?
Despite all my freaking out I said “ better now, that your here”
And he gave me one of those smiles and I couldn’t help but smile back
That same day at lunch he came to the table and both seats beside me were taken
He looked into my eyes and then finally said “ I wish I could sit by you, your really beautiful.”
That was the first time in my life anyone other then my family… told me I was beautiful.
I just smiled and moved next to him, I was so happy.
About three weeks later he ask me to be his date for the dance, I had never been to a dance with a real date. I was so excited I could hardly even answer him!…
That Saturday turned out to be one of the worst days of my life…
We both came to the dance and were having a wonderful time. Then some people told me that he had just patched things up with his ex and that we were only there together because he had asked and wanted to be polite.
I ask him about it… and it was true. I got so upset I ran away from him. Then he called his girl friend to come and meet him.
Watching them dance and laugh and have a wonderful time ripped my heart out and I couldn’t help but cry the night away. When I went home I felt like I had nothing I just lay in bed and did nothing, I couldn’t even stand to eat. I was so angry at my self for one reason… I still loved him.
Along time passed after that, we remained friends.
I was lonely and depressed but
I was determined to be there for him no matter what and then maybe he would see how much I cared.
His relationships came and went, as did mine. So many times our hearts were broken, we stood by each other. Yet we were still nothing, friends yes, but is that really enough when you love some one?
It wasn’t for me. I held him when he cried and defended him when he was down and he did the same for me.
We were meant to be, weren’t we?
Then on one unexpected day he came up to during class right at the end of the day and he said
“ Lacy I want to be with you, I was a fool for never seeing what I could have had all along I’m tired of feeling so lost.”
I said “then do something about it.”
And he did. He told every one that he was done, he left the pointless relationship he was in. And we have been together ever sense, we are both juniors in high school now, and November 20th marks our love.
Nothing in my life would be the same with out him. He has changed every thing for me.
I never felt like I was anyone until we met, and now I’m a someone.
All thanks to him. I have loved him sense the first day  he smiled at me and I will love him for the rest of my life.

    Beautifully Written!

    This is absolutely wonderful my friend! I am so glad that things finally worked out for you. Sometimes it takes a while for people to really see the beauty and what could be when they are with someone. Especially during the first couple of years of high school. It's a time when we all start falling in love for the very first time. For most of us, it's a time when we also fall out of it. This may happen several times. We all need to find the perfect person for us and even though we have found them, there is always someone else that may catch our attention. It's just a matter of time before we really see who the right person is.

    I really enjoyed reading your story here. Thanks a lot for sharing it and I wish you the best of luck with it in this contest! Take care and good luck to you here!

    Excellent

    Well done, sweet poet! You did a fine job with this and it took me back to some times of my own. Being friends first always makes for a stronger relationship. Shows maturity and good sense!!

    Love, Granny
