When I was a child of about 8 there was a female classmate I fell in love with. She was around my age, we were all children, and this was one of those childhood love stories. We were friends and seatmates in class who talked and played all the time.
Then after that year we were put in different classes and we couldn't continue our friendship, although we used to run into each other once in a while.
Then she left the school and I never heard from her again.
When I got older, about 14 or so and started being the first Social Media platform available in my country called 2go I searched for her there because I knew her full name.
I tried every variation of her name I could come up with and I didn't find her. Searching for her there was something I did regularly for years.
And I continued doing that as I got on more social media platforms, especially Facebook. After years of searching for her regularly I found her!
When I was 18, on Facebook. I added her and soon she accepted. I started to ask her if she could remember me, and told her everything about how we were friends as kids and that I've been searching for her for years.
Guys, she said she didn't remember none of that 😂. It pierced my heart because it was so clear in my memory I couldn't believe the one I had those memories with could forget.
She said maybe if I showed her a picture of me as a child she would remember. I had no pictures like that. After a while she told me she remembers she had a friend who was fond of a certain book and that it had to be me. She mentioned the book and yes! It was me, I used to be fond of that book back in the day.
That was all she could remember but at least it was something.
I told her about how I'm so happy to reconnect with her and asked to see pictures of what she looks like now. She sent them, asked for mine and I sent them and this is where a new twist came.
She fell head over heels with me. Lol. Cos I've grown into a handsome sexy young man, just in case you've not noticed.
Handsome black guy of around 18 who's been working out at the gym and looking jacked/ripped at that young age 😉.
And she couldn't help herself, she told me how cool she considered my appearance and how she likes TF out of me. I was so happy about how she turned out to like me after I've been searching for her for so long.
Her, on the other hand, still had the pretty face I'd fallen in love with as a child but I was now an adult who cared about curves and boobs 🤣 and she was not packing. Plus I felt quite disillusioned by her because she didn't remember me like I remembered her, that really affected the way I viewed her. What I'm saying in essence is I still loved her but not as much as I did all those years I was searching, she loved me more now. I was hoping my love would be rekindled when I meet her.
But for her, she was lost! She was now so obsessed with me, always chatting me and telling me how she likes me and stuff. I was still very happy about this and was looking forward to meeting her in person. Sadly she was in a faraway city but we still had hope.
So we just kept chatting. Then one day I received multiple pictures of myself from her accompanied by lots of talk about how she the guy in the picture and how the guy is so hot! As I kept reading I realized the message wasn't for me. Because clearly the messages were her telling someone about how she has met me and fallen for me and how those are my pictures.
Soon as I finished reading it she started to send apologies and regrets, telling me the messages weren't for me but for her friend and that she sent them to me by error. The apologies were so much and so profuse and she said she felt so ashamed.
I told her it was nothing, that I already know she likes me and that I like her too, I've searched for her for years. I also reminded her she's told me countless times already how much she was into me. It didn't help. She felt she had poured her heart out too much in those messages more than she'd done before and the embarrassment was too much.
I tried to calm her down as much as I could, it didn't work but she agreed to stop apologizing and feeling bad about it.
Clearly, she couldn't, because from that day she began to become colder and colder, and our bond/spark started dying slowly. Until it died finally. We'd lose touch for months and she'll come back to say she had some phone issues and things like that...
Ultimately she stopped being active on social media and probably got new accounts or something. I couldn't reach her and I still haven't been able to reach her till this day.
