I remember that feeling of falling out of love. It doesn't happen all at once, it just seems that way. You go from feeling all squishy inside about that special person, to just having a warm tenderness. From that warm tenderness you transition into a friendship. That is how it was with my first love. I remember holding hands at school and making out in his car after school. It was so exciting. Then after a while we just watched t.v. and cuddled or went to the movies and actually watched the movie. I can remember the final stage when he used to bring his homework to my house and we would just sit and help each other out on problems in algebra.
We just both lost that squishy feeling for eachother and became the best of friends. Sometimes I think falling in love can lead to the best friendships you can have. To this day I am still friends with my first love. The squishy feelings may be gone but they were replaced with even stronger feelings of loyalty, companionship, and trust.

That is a good essay--sadly, I've never had your experience with lost loves. It's either embarrassment or anger or shame at the end....
