I can't stop thinking about her; her hair, her eyes, her laugh. She accidentally put a spell on me, and she doesn't have a reversal. People say that 12 year olds can't love, but I know I love her. I stay awake at night thinking about her, I cry about how she isn't in my life at all. I can't stop looking at her, and when we talk, my stomach flutters like there are a million hummingbirds flying around in there. I write songs and poems about her, and all the stars in space, and all the grains of sand still cannot count my love for her. But what do I know? I'm only twelve.

It gets better. We tend to fall hard in our young years because of vulnerability. There is a lack of heart break, and a newfound passion for the opposite sex. Please be careful. Don't let yourself get too hurt because I don't want you to be damaged for what is to come in the future.

You got this, twelve year old. But I agree with the above comment, don't fall too hard or it will be to hard to get back up later on in the wonderful years of high school. Love is great

Its okay. I'm only twelve but I feel the same connection with a boy I like. We don't have any classes together and the only time I get to see him is on the bus in the afternoons. Me and him have the same stop though (as he lives only a few houses down) so we get to spend the whole bus ride talking. Recently we've grown closer though, and so sometimes we'll just stand in my yard and talk a minute before I go inside my house and he goes and walks to his house. I do the same thing as well, though i am also an artist so along with my poems and songs and letters and the like, I will draw him or think of him as I draw. And now it is late on a Friday and for the first time since school started I want to be back in school just to wait for the end of the day so I can see him again. I do not "like" him. I love him. There is no age of which you have to be to be able to fall in love.

That's cute and wonderful.

Just do what you want to do, and feel free to love.

Cause it's love.

I'm 12 as well. It does make me irritated when society says 12 year olds are immature and don't understand.

I am 12 as well, and the love that you show in this heartfelt letter is beautiful. Show her this, tell her this is about her, win the girl, love.

The age doesn't mean anything if it comes to love. I'm 22 years old and grew up well, without any damages, while I've had my first boyfriend at the age of 6 and we were together for 8 years. I can still remember that those feelings I've had back then were strong and genuine and now it's a beautiful childhood memory.
