My First True Love: Description And Dialogue

Decent Essays
Description & Dialogue I never loved my first true love and she never loved me. We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into, we just wanted to take on the world together no matter come what may. I’ll never forget the feeling of the January weather the day I left her driveway, “When you’re young and dumb you’ll do anything for love.” A sentence that still echoes in my head to this day, an adage that I will never remove from the caverns of my mind. “What do they know anyway,” I told myself “They don’t know how we feel anyways.” We lied to each other daily saying that what we have is “special” and that “we’ll always be there for each other.” I fell in love with the lips speaking the sweet deceits. Our love was a fabrication of my imagination. …show more content…
The thick heat of the day turned into a thin breeze that could just fly right through your body and soul leave you breathless at times. We were so content in each other then. Our park walks meant the world to me. The smell of burning leaves lingered in the air as we strolled throughout all the scenery. As we would pass each lamp post I would watch the darkness slowly surround her face only to be illuminated by the next. I admired her in every single way. I fell in love with the way her cheeks changed color when we were exposed to the cold. I loved the way she would smile at me when she would grab my hand to walk. The feeling of her touch was like a fire in my veins, it sent a pins and needles feeling up my arm and down my back. I especially loved when I would find her hairs on my coat. I remember one night when I took her home, I lost myself in my thoughts until she quickly beckoned me back into …show more content…
As the days of November flew by we quickly found ourselves in a cesspool of holiday planning and visiting. Although we did at times feel like our love was a burden, we still found a way to keep our relationship stalemate. We never questioned why we should keep the relationship going because we thought we had it figured out. It seemed like everyone was jealous of us, they wanted to be just like us. On the exterior, everyone thought we were happy with who we were, they didn’t know what was happening on the inside. In a way, the attention is what kept us going, we thought that if our love was envy of others we had to be doing something right. So, we kept the charade up as long as the audience was pleased with our

    Throughout my lifetime, there has been moments of laughter as well as grief. But a moment in my life that was pivotal was when I first felt the love of my life, at the moment, fade away slowly from me and sort of detach from our relationship. The song by Christian Nodal- “Adios Amor” showed me how at times when the love fades between partners to the point where there is no love at all, you have to do your best to move on rather than spending time grieving the love that is lost. Therefore, the song “Adios Amor” gave me the tough realization that some relationships are best to let go of if they don’t work as a young adult, and will continue to guide me throughout my life.…

    True Love Why is it that we as human beings complain so much? Many of us see less fortunate people and think we should be more thankful, but it never seems to last because we go back to complaining about something in our life going wrong. We never seem to know what we truly have until it’s gone. The poem “Why I Hate Raisins” by Natalie Diaz talks just about that, when you read the title you probably think It’s just a poem of someone saying they hate raisins because their nasty.…

    Two Ways of Viewing the River When Mark Twain first began his career as a riverboat captain, he was enthralled and captivated by the grandeur of the Mississippi River, though he was acutely aware of hidden dangers lurking beneath the water’s swirling surface. He eventually lost the initial appreciation of the river for its beauty and recognized the river was a dangerous, treacherous body of water with no compassion for the people who traversed its deceptive, smooth appearance. It is possible to compare this change in perception to a love affair. A couple meets, begins to keep close company and then for various reasons, separate into different paths. Relationships, similar to Twain’s eventual understanding that the river was a mistress to be…

    A seventy-five year experiment conducted by Harvard researchers ended with the conclusion that love is all that truly matters in life, showing that happiness revolved solely on love or searching for it. Raymond Carver’s “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love” focuses on four character’s different opinions of what love is and their journey in searching for the true meaning, some of the characters denying this human impulse to thrive in this ‘true love’ concept. Carver’s use of symbolism truly forms the backbone of this literary piece. Although the dialogue provides much knowledge of what the characters are feeling, Carver’s practice of symbolism dissects the true emotion of the piece by aligning separate and deeper meanings to inanimate…

    Part I Demonterius Dorsey What captured my attention the most in A.E Stalling’s First Love A Quiz , was how the actual poem was written in the format of a multiple choice quiz. The first line in each stanza starts off as a phrase, and the lines that follow are in A , B , C , format. The poem itself was short, yet very vivid and vague at the same time. Before reading the first line, I already had the impression from the title that the poem would be very similar to a quiz given by grade school teachers.…

    The night is finally here; I remember being so enthusiastic I could barely sit. I remember shifting around as if I was a crime waiting to hear my sentence. I remember being so excited to hang out with you outside of school that my mom just wanted me to leave the house—that’s how annoying I was about what outfit I would wear and how I looked. I remember wearing my favorite pair of jeans with a normal white tee. “I could feel the weight of my necklace pressed up against my skin, not quite as heavy as the converse on my feet as I walked to open the door.”…

    The short story, “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love” by Raymond Carver, invalidates the struggles and the lives of women, especially those that have dealt with trauma and abuse. The lack of empathy for Terri, the lack of recognition of abusive relationships do nothing to prevent or provide education on domestic violence, and the absence of support marginalize women. Terri, Mel’s second wife, was in two consecutive abusive relationships. She had lived with Ed, a man that “loved her so much he tried to kill her.”…

    I remember those long walks in the woods during the sunset. The grass would tickle our bare feet and the screeching of barn owls could be heard in the distance. The sun would begin to settle down for a nap and Clara and I would sit up in a tree. Clara who was much too small to climb by herself, would laugh and reach her arms up. I would pick her up and while holding onto her tightly, would climb until we reached the highest branch.…

    Young love is like a mirage, inconsistent and never real. In fact, most teenage love is usually just a simple case of infatuation as portrayed by Shakespeare’s, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, and Amy Broadway’s article, “Adolescents Are Prone to Love Addiction.” Shakespeare’s characters, Romeo and Juliet, are from feuding families. The animosity between the Capulet and the Montague can be traced back to before either Romeo or Juliet was born. Nevertheless, they still meet, fall in “love”, and get married all in the span of a day.…

    The Valentine’s Day ’98 podcast discuses an event that constantly happens in our society, which is the experience of love in people's life. The speaker discusses how love is perceived at first as an intense desire and a powerful obsession of thinking and wondering to be all the time near the other person. However, one of the podcast’s speakers called Ira Glass states that love is an illusion, or a dream where the person idealizes the his or her partner in a way that it looks perfect for the person. As a matter of fact, the other speaker called Richard Klein says that psychologists' studies estimated that real love last only eighteen months.…
