A lot of people say “You don’t know the meaning of real true love at a young age it takes time. But, in my eyes, age is only a number and with age come understanding, maturity, and also experience. But, who thought you would still have a heart and still be able to love after being hurt so much but so many people? But, I met the love of my life at the age of 18, and it was the best feeling ever. Who knew a man could just still your heart and mend it just like it is his own heart. His name is Darius Earl Henton. A 23 year old Navy sailor from Alabama, he was About 5’6, 158 pounds, light brown eyes, and all muscle. You may say “aw what’s so attractive about him.” Well here it is; RESPECT. The day was September 5, 2013 when I ran into Darius, No seriously I ran into the back of him and yes my eyes was opened while I was walking if you may ask. When he turned around I thought he was going to be upset but instead he actually helped me with my things and made sure I was okay. Now Darius wasn’t someone I ever saw myself being attracted to just cause of his height but what do you know we ended up staying in Walmart for a couple of hours just walking around and talking. While talking his brown eyes was the dreamiest thing I have ever seen and that is what caught my attention the whole time we were talking. We exchanged numbers after our legs got tired of walking. We talked for a couple of days and then I finally agreed to go out and BAM!! September 20, 2013 we had our first date. After the first date I knew he was the one I wanted to be with and I wanted learn more and more from him and about him. So September 22,2013 I said yes to becoming his one and only and that was the best decision I had ever made as a young girl. After a couple of months of dating everything was going great. He met my family and everyone fell in love with him even down to my nieces and nephews. At times I would always question ‘WHY ME” I know there is no such thing as anything perfect but lord knows this man was perfect flaws and all. Then it was time to go meet my brother the scariest part of them all. My brother is the scariest person you would ever want to meet he was big, tall, and wide. He had this face he made with his eye that would just make you have night mares while you was still awake. So we head over to his house and walk inside he just playing the game laid back and he sees us and just stop what he was doing. Was he excited to see his baby sister no all he seen was a man with his sister, but to my surprised they got along just
