<p>I am a son.<br />
I am a brother.<br />
I am an artist.<br />
I am a student.<br />
I am<em> her</em> student.<br />
<br />
She was my first.<br />
First infatuation, first &lsquo;real&rsquo; kiss, first love, first...<br />
heartbreak.<br />
<br />
I gave her everything, including my body and would have given her more.<br />
I gave her &lsquo;I love you&rsquo; &hellip;she told me her heart was filled by another, there was no room left for me.<br />
<br />
We could never be.<br />
What we did was wrong.<br />
It didn&rsquo;t feel wrong to me.<br />
<br />
<strong>The deepest hurt is a love that you cannot have. It will last the longest, cut the deepest and feel the strongest.&nbsp;<br />
It is an imperfect love; a disfigured circle that never ends.&nbsp;<br />
You cannot control it; it&#39;s as simple as blinking and just like blinking the more you try to stop it, the more the pain consumes you.</strong><br />
<br />
