Does anyone have any good summer love stories when you were young?







Like with a guy/girl that you like. Staying up late at night with them hanging out. I always wanted to experience that with someone I think its cool. Could you share your story like a summary? Eric Church's Springsteen makes me think of that lol (:


Answer
So here's my story(Since I had nothing better to do on a saturday evening :P)

It was mid august and I decided to go up to summer camp for a couple of weeks.
By my surprise there were already a few people that I knew that were going.Jackson a guy that I barely knew at the time and Trenton,a good but younger friend of mine.So when I got there I greeted Trenton and I said Hello to Jackson.A few days later I started hanging out with Jackson.He was so sweet and so kind to me.Then one warm evening he confessed his love for me at the beach,where the sun was gently setting.It was romantic.At the time, we were both 14 years old.So yep,we had loads of energy to stay up very late at night and gaze at the stars.So when it was about 2am we would sneak out of our large canvas tents and meet at the campsite docks.We would tell stories about our lives and wonder if we were soul mates for life.We would also go sailing together.Every night before going to bed,we would build a campfire and sing songs until we were sleepy and went to bed and got back up at 2.It was the best summer of my life and I will never forget it.
