You and I

Check out the picture. I think it's cute

     That first time I saw you, I didn't think much of it. You seemed nice, but my friend was already head over heals for you...or so I thought.

      Me and my friend tried to play match maker at camp, we took you right to her. That's when I first noticed. You were so cute XD But that was just me, a girl being a girl. And I couldn't like you...could I? My friend was already crushing on you, so there was nothing I could do. But then she figured out how old you were and that was it. She was done. Apparently age is everything. I believe it's nothing. Then camp was over.

    We got home, and she had your number. :O So of course, I needed it too. Little did I know, those ten digits would become my world and possible demise. At first, when she asked if it was ok if I had your number, you didn't even remember me. :S But that was so long ago. Finally you recognized me after a picture sent, though I didn't even believe you really did remember. I got your number though, and we texted...and texted. Without even noticing, I slowly began to crush on you.

      We weren't exactly close, in fact, a state away. We weren't very close friends either. But I started to get to know you better, though, and I realized that we had so much in common! And so, we got closer by the day. Soon you were telling me about your girl issues. Let me tell you, everytime I geard about some girl that dumped you, it burned, because I hated having you feel so hurt. Every time I heard about some girl you thought was cute or you were dating, it burned more, because it was just another opprotunity for me gone.

      But then, I started getting clues that you like me too! :D It was harder then and even before that, because everytime I wanted to get excited, I wanted to believe he liked me back, I had to keep one foot on the ground. I had to shoot myself down. But eventually,(and by eventually I mean much later :P) I told him how I felt, and it turned out he felt the same! :3 Though I still have my doubts, it's not his fault. It's only because that's how I forced myself to think for so long. Now, we still have years to go before we see each other again, but I'm willing to wait, because I know there's someone on the other side, someone waiting for me too.

      We might not always be together, we might not always be apart. But I will love you forever, my best friend, my lover.

Yes, this is very realistic. It's adorable in every way shape or form. (:

It shows what some people will do do be with the one they love, even if they are 1,000 miles apart.

[MadiKay]

It cut me off. ._.

Also, I like how the first and last lines are bolded. (: This is amazing, Mackenzie.

I can relate to this, except for me in the end, they didn't feel the same way. This is very well written, and I can feel the happiness, the longing, the wishing, the waiting. Well conveyed, and very realistic.

[Tai Ryens]

Ah, it seems quite realistic and it would indeed make a great teen novel. The idea of being willing to wait years to see another loved one is simply fantastic. Great job.

[Tomislav Petricevic]

Of course it seems realistic! Actually, I think it's a good story. It sends out good messages - don't be afraid to approach someone. Gather the guts and speak from your heart. You might be surprised by your discovery.
However (uh-oh! Nothing good comes after the "however" xD) I think you should remove those emoticons. You can just use exclamation marks to give the hint of excitement, and you can always add a sentence or two to accurately describe what you felt in that moment.
And I like the picture!
