First love

Being home in Middleton, where I attended high school as got to me thinking about my past, and mainly my first boyfriend. It also could be because I am talking to him online right now. We were together for five years. 3 and half in high school and then a year and half in college. We are still good friends and talk about everything. He has a financee and is very happy with her, and I have moved on as well. But do you ever really get over your first love?
Those first intense teenage moments, the hesitant kiss, the long phone calls, the way you thought you were in love. Those moments are the ties that bond you to that special person.
Maybe there are different types of what Erickson calls sexual love. He believe there were different types of love, which you can see easily. The love you have for your child is a different one you have for your husband or wife. But I think there are even more types of sexual or intimacy loves.
I love my ex boyfriend, very much. With an intensity that matches our long history. But he is a friend now, not just a friend. Because putting just in front of it makes the friendship seem less important. But I think I have more depth in the well of my heart to love someone else but differently.
Could the amount of different intimacy loves depend on how many people you get close to?
Because you or at least to me loving someone is something so deeply personal, and is only between those two people, does the definition of love change with every relationship? Or does it just evolve and grow into something that you feel with that one magical person?
Once you fall in love, that is a love so deep it is made up of all the other emotions you felt for someone else but also transcends them?
