Hey

Um...

How many were there before me?

What do you mean?

Like...How many girls did you love before me?

Love?

Five

I loved five women before you

What were their names?

Who

What

When

Why

Can you tell me about them?

[Music Plays]

Who I loved, was a girl from college

I wasn't exactly close to her but...

with some superficial facts and a few interactions over a semester...

you know, like most guys fantasizing over a girl they barely know...

I filled in the blanks like a fairytale author.

And who she became in my head was...probably more than the reality.

She was a third year...Sorority girl...

Yea...and I was an infatuated freshman sure, but...

The several times we got to spend together outside of class...

It really allowed me to see she also had a...good heart an- and a bright spirit.

The only problem was...

so did just about every other guy.

And while she turned me down nicely...

I swear...

There were times when it seemed like the cliche Sorority girl...

may have felt something for the typical, awkward freshman.

What I loved, was an old friend

But she was much more than JUST a friend.

We met early in college and kept in touch through the years after.

We saw each other grow...and change...and through multiple relationships.

I saw her different boyfriends come and go...

She was also there for every girlfriend...

and break up of mine...

Personality, humor, taste...

It was all there.

Her and I were almost perfect.

[laughs under breath]

The only thing that wasn't perfect was her timing.

We were never single at the same time and...

What we loved about each other...

was never enough to leave who we were with.

This is something we eventually had to face and accept...

and we had to leave behind...

what we had.

When I loved, was my first girlfriend in high school

It's a bit unfair, because...she embodies the combination of both love AND youth.

The feeling of young love is unique...an-and impossible to replace or replicate.

Because we can only be that age ONCE.

High school is a time of innocence...discovery...and adventure.

We shared these three elements together, and things like...

our first kiss

late night sneaking out

and...mad name movies...

All of now which has become...a nostalgic love.

Perserved in a time that neither of us can touch...but know it was there.

Even though we were just kids...there's not a doubt in my mind that when we were there...

we were in love.

Where I loved, was the girl I met in Los Angeles

I never intended to stay there that long...

It was just a..6 month internship after graduating...

but it all changed when I met her.

Soon a year had passed, then somehow another year after that.

I couldn't leave the city

I couldn't leave her

Maybe, it was my desire to be on my own...

or prove something to everyone back at home.

But she helped me accomplish it over there...

with a relationship reflective of the city we were in.

A new energy...and...

new experiences, that really pushed me to mature more than anyone...

or anywhere else.

When people ask what city I love the most, I say...

LA

The city where I loved the most.

Why I love, was a close friend of mine who passed away

She told me after she was diagnosed that...death was not that saddened her the most...

but the fact that she, never really felt like she had fallen in love.

She wouldn't get to have those emotions; good and bad...

and of being held.

After she passed...

those words stuck with me the most.

Teaching me to see that, one of the greatest gifts we have of being alive is...

the ability to give, receive, and even lose love.

There are so many like her...

whose lives end before having any of those experiences.

What a waste if...we don't strive to love in our lives.

She made me understand why.

Why waste this life not loving?

[sighs]

I understand now

You were the sixth

The sixth...

So which one am I then?

You're none of them.

Because you're all of them.

You're who I love.

The girl on the pedestal. The fantasy. The make believe things that are actually true.

You're what I love.

The depth. The inside jokes. The best friend.

You're when I love.

A new history's being started with you.

We are the young lovers our older selves will some day reminisce about.

You are where I love.

Because I'd go anywhere....just to be with you.

[whispers] You, are why I love.

Because before you...I didn't truly understand what I was looking for.

And now that we've found each other...

you've given my past...and future meaning.

You were the sixth.

You are the last.

So...how many were there before me?

Um...five as well.

What were their names?

Who

What

When
