First Love Quotes

"My first love, I'll never forget, and it's such a big part of who I am, and in so many ways, we could never be together, but that doesn't mean that it's not forever. Because it is forever."

Rashida Jones

“Falling in love is very real, but I used to shake my head when people talked about soul mates, poor deluded individuals grasping at some supernatural ideal not intended for mortals but sounded pretty in a poetry book. Then, we met, and everything changed, the cynic has become the converted, the sceptic, an ardent zealot.”
― E.A. Bucchianeri, Brushstrokes of a Gadfly

 

“He smiles at me, and I am suddenly seventeen again - the year I realize that love doesn't follow the rules, the year I understood that nothing is worth having so much as something unattainable”
― Jodi Picoult, My Sister's Keeper 

 

“When you care more if someone else lives than you do about yourself- is that what [love is]?”
― Jodi Picoult, My Sister's Keeper

 

“Something about first love defies duplication. Before it, your heart is blank. Unwritten. After, the walls are left inscribed and graffitied. When it ends, no amount of scrubbing will purge the scrawled oaths and sketched images, but sooner or later, you find that there’s space for someone else, between the words and in the margins.”
― Tammara Webber, Where You Are 

 

“True love, like any other strong and addicting drug, is boring — once the tale of encounter and discovery is told, kisses quickly grow stale and caresses tiresome… except, of course, to those who share the kisses, who give and take the caresses while every sound and color of the world seems to deepen and brighten around them. As with any other strong drug, true first love is really only interesting to those who have become its prisoners.
And, as is true of any other strong and addicting drug, true first love is dangerous.”
― Stephen King, Wizard and Glass

 

“That first love. And the first one who breaks your heart. For me, they just happen to be the same person.”
― Sarah Dessen, Along for the Ride

 

  “Since he knew things at the beginning, maybe at the end he knew things too. That we had gone as far as chance would take us. That nothing is more sacred than youth or more hopeful than turning yourself over to someone and saying ~ I have this time, it is not a long time, but it is my best time and my best gift, and I give it to you. When I revisit my youth, I re-visit you.”
― Hilary Thayer Hamann, Anthropology of an American Girl 

 

 “Isn't it supposed to be like this?" He smiled. "The glory of first love, and all that. It's incredible, isn't it, the difference between reading about something, seeing it in the pictures, and experiencing it?"
"Very different," I agreed. "More forceful than I'd imagined.”
― Stephenie Meyer, Twilight 

 

 “If first love is always young, every love thereafter is like the old woman in the rocking chair: enfeebled by experience and swaying to a memory. But this is perhaps true only of noble souls; with all the rest, every love feels original: they leave their pre-teen playmate to marry their high school sweetheart, only to refresh their bed at college enrollment. Every new season of life obliges a new excitement. The modern lover has internalized the essence of comedy: that happy endings always round off at the commencement of the relationship. Love becomes a fading echo. Without a right side to cast our nets over, we drag them through thinned, polluted seas, hungering for the succulence of perpetual novelty and surviving off of chunks from driftbones. When our life partner, passion, finally leaves us, comes the realization: that we should have held on the first time.”
― Bauvard, The Darkness of Nature 

 

 “While she could hardly fathom what had just happened to her that night, she reached some conclusions before she fell asleep, certain things now made perfect sense; Moon River didn’t sound so syrupy, mistletoe wasn’t such a bad idea, and perhaps dating was not such a frivolous waste of time after all.”
― E.A. Bucchianeri, Brushstrokes of a Gadfly

Jejak Langkah Yang Kau Tinggal (by Glenn Fredly)

Memang aku tak s'lalu hadir dalam mimpi indahmu
Mungkin aku t'lah berlalu jadi kenangan yang tak kau banggakan
Tapi bagiku cinta adalah harta yang tersimpan
Chorus:
Jejak langkah yang kau tinggal mendewasakan hatiku
Jejak langkah yang kau tinggal takkan pernah hilang s'lalu
Begitulah cintaku
Walau kau hanya singgah sekejap di cinta tulus ini
Tapi sangatlah berharga jadi kenangan yang aku banggakan
Maka bagiku cinta adalah harta yang kusimpan
Bridge:
S'lamat jalan kekasih
Temukan yang jauh lebih baik
Jangan pernah kau resahkan
Janji yang kau ucap padaku dulu

Cerita di balik Kata Throwback Time

Ada cerita dimana seorang perempuan sebut saja Ghea, tiba-tiba mengingat kembali kenangan masa lalunya yang tidak begitu indah dengan seorang yang spesial untuknya. Mungkin ceritanya dapat membuat beberapa diantara kita akan terharu tapi yah begitulah.
Berawal dari tahun 1997 dimana Ghea pertama kali bertemu dengan Dirly. Sebenarnya mereka sudah saling mengenal sejak kecil karena rumah mereka satu kompleks dan orang tua mereka juga saling mengenal dengan baik. Selain itu mereka juga berada dalam satu komunitas yang sama. Namun mereka tidak pernah bertemu lagi sejak tahun 1991. Ketika itu Dirly dan keluarganya pindah ke daerah lain dan mengkontrakan rumah lama mereka. Setelah berpisah dengan jangka waktu yang cukup lama, mereka bertemu lagi pada tahun 1996 dimana pada saat itu mereka mengikuti acara sosial. Pada saat pembagian kelompok kerja, ternyata mereka satu kelompok. Namun masih saja mereka tidak terlalu akrab karena masing-masing dari mereka mungkin sudah lupa satu sama lain. Dan pada saat itu juga Dirly sudah sedikit berubah dari penampilan fisik jadi Ghea tidak terlalu menghiraukannya.
Satu tahun kemudian mereka bertemu kembali dalam kegiatan yang sama yaitu acara sosial yang diikuti oleh beberapa anak pemuda pemudi dari komunitas itu. Selama 3 minggu mereka semua menginap di sebuah penginapan. Dan yang sangat-sangat mengejutkan lagi, ternyata mereka satu kelompok lagi. sama seperti tahun lalu namun kini penampilan keduanya sudah berubah menjadi lebih oke. Lebih gaul layaknya anak muda yang beranjak menjadi ABG. Pada saat mengikuti kegiatan, Dirly selalu menatap kearah Ghea. Sepertinya Dirly mulai kagum dengan Ghea dengan penampilan Ghea yang casual dan sederhana namun cantik dan todak berlebihan sepertianak-anak ABG pada umumnya. Pembawaan Ghea pun tenang dan seperti dewasa membuat Dirly tertarik dan ingin mengenal Ghea lebih dalam lagi.
Dirly juga terlihat lebih dewasa dan tenang. Yang paling berbeda adalah penampilannya yang semakin cool dan keren sehingga gadis-gadis remaja seumuran mereka jadi tergila-gila.
Singkat cerita, Dirly mulai mendekati Ghea.
