Normally I wouldn't post in a thread like this, but I've got that little fond memories smirk on my face now, so I reckon I will.

My first love wasn't all that long ago. In fact, there are folks here who will remember it. The healing process kind of sucks, but in the end it comes down to happy memories. Remember the good, forget the bad.

As to would I go back, no. I really don't know if it could work anymore. In a sense I'm still in love with her and I suspect I always will be, but the bottom line is that neither one of us is the same person we were then and I just don't think it would work. I'd prefer to keep the memories I have unsullied, rather than messing that up in some vain attempt to recapture the past.

The short answer is that, yes, I think it does have to be mutual, although the specifics of it are different in each individual case. Love isn't something you question. When you're in love you just.. know. It's as elemental as your own name. This is me, this is who I am, and I am in love.
