Love at First Sight

Do you remember the first time you laid eyes on that person? That feeling was a one time feeling. It was like a dream. The chills climbing up my spine, my stomach full of butterflies. I promise I have never felt them so full in my life! I could just remember every word he said, and every moment and exactly what he was wearing. It was the most amazing feeling. I couldn’t stop staring into his eyes and I just felt like staying in the same spot with that same person for the rest of my life!
The day past slowly and it was great, because I didn’t want it to go by fast. I wanted everyday to be like that unforgettable day. I love feeling nervous and having my face permanently red just like a tomato. I laughed I played and I smiled with him. It was so childish, but it felt so good. The connection was so great! The energy was so good, and it was like we already knew each other. I could live that day over and over again.
The next day came and I was even more excited to see him because I already knew him and we talked more and had a lot of fun together. The connection got even bigger as days and weeks passed by. I still could feel the nerves sometimes but not as much, I still got excited when I saw him, and I still felt so much. But it was just not like the first time I saw him.
I had lost that love at first sight feeling. I was sick of seeing him after more weeks passed by. I actually couldn’t even stand him anymore. I started getting nervous every time he would call because I didn’t want him to realize that I was actually ignoring his call. I still got red like a tomato but from the anger he made me feel. I had already been sick to my stomach from all of the butterflies. The connection was gone! The excitement, the love, it was all gone. I couldn’t take him anymore. I was so annoyed of him. It was sad though, because the first time I saw him it felt like the best day of my life, and I was at a point that I couldn’t even stare this stranger in his eyes. That was when I realized that I was not in love at all. I was never in love. It was all just a crush.
So time passed and I met people and I had a couple of those love at first sight moments and feelings. But what’s the point of calling it love at first sight, every time you feel that in love feeling, when in the end it was just another mistake you made. Love is huge, love is beautiful, but do we really know what love mean and how it truly feels? I love my mom, my bed, but to be in love with a partner, how will you ever know this? Does love at first sight exist? Many people believe so much in it, but I definitely have my doubts.
