I truly love him but I'm afaird what other people will say i don't want to ruin his life. I'm not even sure it's allowed anymore. I don't know what our families will even think. Please help me!

you guys are second cousins as in blood cousins?? If so then oh I know what there gonna say and you should be saying it too. That its incest and its disgusting but if you guys aren't blood relatives, I don't see the problem other than the fact that you are too young. At your age you should be dating and having fun not considering marriage and your family members might say the same thing. But if you really love him and you are sure he rly loves you, never mind what they say. do what makes you happy.
