I now find this song ironic because I walked around singing it for years, and yeah I'd knew exactly what she was saying but it never fully hit me until just now. My boyfriend and I had been together for five nearly perfect years. The problem was that there was quite a controversial age difference. A six year gap (me being 15 and him being 21, before you say anything, we were long distance, not sexually active and didn't jump into a relationship. We were really good friends who made sure the other didn't commit suicide and we just fell for each other). It's hard getting dirty looks because of the person you love's age but I knew what was true. He loved me too. I looked forward to turning 18 and moving in with him and spending my life with him. And for those five years he did too. I'll save you the whole sob story and say we officially split last night. And I can't even hate him because no matter what, he's perfect in my eyes. And if he's happy, I'll do my best to keep him that way even if it does hurt. He got me through alot of hurt, and I defended him from everything I could and kept him alive. I thought we'd be forever. A regular fairy tale and I argued down everyone who said otherwise. Who feels like an ass now? Hah. He is and always be my angel,my first love, my dream guy. But the future isn't set in stone. Last time I let myself get blinded. Who knew?

@averystripes The fact that you had a relationship like this so early in your life is amazing just by itself. It suggests you're capable of so much more. (That's not a criticism; more like I'm in awe of both of you). I just hope you take pride in what you've been through, and what you've done for him and take that pride into an happy future. And don't feel stupid, ok?

@averystripes I feel you I hate it when people criticize age gap. Last relationship I was he was almost 3 years older I met him as a freshmen while he was a senior my parents didn't approve so after a year of trying to hide it they broke us up. He moved on. I didn't. People gave me shit at school for dating someone older, and I feel stupid for doing so, I was holding him back from a lot of stuff, and I'm pretty sure he wasn't happy with me as I was with him.

@averystripes thank you for sharing. This is a good testament to the saying “love never dies.” I think, and this may sound strange, but I think I would really like you if I met you. I am trying to be one of those steadfast loves, myself.
