The Greatest Love Of All

The Greatest Love Of All Romance had never been the big thing for me. I would listen to girls talk about how they just loved so and so and how so and so was just soooo fine. Please! I had been hurt by too many guys to even think about wanting another one. By the time I started Highschool I had done that dating thing and learned the hard way that every boy did not have your best intentions at heart. Once I reached my sophomore year of highschool I was through with dating. I had decided that guys were just no good period. That is until I met Miguel. Boy was I in for the shock of my life. Miguel was so fine. I think about him now and I still get Goosebumps. Homeboy had it going on for real. Not only was he tall, but he had these green eyes that just seem to penetrate right through you. And a body, oh my goodness! He didn’t have a six pack; homeboy had a 24 pack for real! All I can say is mmm mmm good! Not only was Miguel fine, but he was smart and as I later found out a perfect gentlemen. But of course I couldn’t let him know how good I thought he was. I was the president of the “Guy Haters of America Club” remember, so the first time he spoke to me (which was at the party where I met him) I totally blew him off just as I had done numerous other guys who had tried to “ spit their game” to me. I just automatically assumed that he was a low down, good for nothing, thinks he looks good (which he did!) kind of guy when in all actuality he wasn’t even like that at all. When I think about it now he should have just forgot all about me because I was so rude to him. But I’m glad he was so persistent because who knows where I’d be today if he hadn’t been. It took Miguel four months before he could even get me to go on a date with him. It wasn’t that I didn’t like him, it was just I couldn’t allow myself to be vulnerable with another guy. I was just so sure he would break my heart just as all others before him. But eventually he wore me down and I agreed to go to the movies with him. It turned out to be one of the best nights of my life. This was the first of many dates that helped me to trust guys again. Miguel was the type of guy that girls dream about. He would open car doors for me, make sure I was settled in and then walk around and get in himself. He brought me flowers on each and every date, and He would walk on the inside of the curb so if a car would come and splash water it would hit him first and not me. He paid for everything and even got offended if I tried to pay for anything. He walked me to my door when he dropped me off, and came to the door when he picked me up. He would talk to me like I was a person and not like I was just a piece of meat here for his pleasure. The boy treated me like I was gold. One night when we were out he took me to this park in South Omaha. The park was so beautiful. It had flowers all over and at night the lights were softly dancing on them. It looked like something out of a movie. We walked around the park and talked. Soon I was getting tired of walking and so we sat on a ledge and talked. Miguel told something this night that I will never forget. As we sat there he asked me “ why did you not want to go out with me at first when I asked you?” I was ashamed to tell him then because I felt so stupid for even thinking it, but I told him. He told me that he understood how I could feel that way because many girls had hurt him too and he ended up doing the same thing. But the one thing that got him through it was to trust himself and to know who he was on the inside. He told me that once he figured out who he was and what he wanted, there was nothing that anybody could do to him to make him settle for less than the best. He told me that even though its hard for him to date for a long time he realized that he couldn’t just shut others out because of a couple of bad apples because he might miss the good one that was coming up next. He told me that I was a good person, and that any guy who would try to hurt me was crazy and I didn’t need to be with him anyway. This might seem like common sense to most people but to me it was just what I needed to hear. Here was living proof that dreams can come true even if it was only for a little while. We dated for 1 year before the unimaginable happened. One day he and his father were going to Lincoln to visit some family. On the way back from this trip right as they were coming off the freeway a trucker who had fallen asleep at the wheel slammed into his fathers truck and pushed them off the freeway. They were both killed instantly. When I found out I thought that I would never get over it. He was not only my boyfriend, but he was my best friend. Even though his death devastated me I knew I had to move on because I knew in my heart that is what Miguel would want. I’ve dated other guys since him but he always has a piece of my heart reserved for him. I know some day I will find another guy to treat me right but he will never take the place of Miguel. He really taught me that all guys are not bad. He showed me the way that I want my boyfriends to treat me and now I won’t even settle for less. Bibliography:
