Miley Cyrus in September's issue of Seventeen

After two years of speculation, Miley Cyrus is finally talking to Seventeen Magazine about her relationship with ex-boyfriend, Nick Jonas.

“We became boyfriend and girlfriend the day we met,” she told Seventeen. “He was on a quest to met me, and he was like, ‘I think you’re beautiful and I really like you.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, my gosh, I like you so much.”

“Nick and I loved each other,” she goes on to say. “We still do, but we were in love with each other. For two years he was basically my 24/7.”

It turns out that Jonas was the cause of the rebellion that Cyrus had been going through, including dying her hair black for the premiere of her Hannah Montana: Best of Both Worlds concert.

“At first I bawled for a month straight. I was so sad. I just went into this weird funk,” she says of their late 2007 breakup. “And I dyed my hair black. When we were dating, Nick wanted me to get highlights - and so I did that, and I got myself looking great. And then, on the day we broke up, I was like, I want to make my hair black now - I don’t want to look pretty; I want to look hard core. I was rebelling against everything Nick wanted me to be.”

Now the 15-year-old (soon to be 16) has realized she has to be herself and figure out who she really is.

Other topics of conversastion:

Writing Music
“I write from life experiences — everything from guys to books I read that are inspiring to me. Someone will say something and I’ll think, That’ll be a great song title. I just take a little bit of everything.”

Relaxation Time
“When I have free time, I like to hang out with my friends and go to the Coffee Bean and talk. Since I entertain all day … it’s my job … I don’t ever want to feel like I’m doing that. Just to sit and relax is nice.”

Guy Friends
“I totally believe in guys and girls being friends. Mandy’s [Jiroux] my only real girlfriend, besides Ashley [Nino] and other girls I work with. There’s been so many hard things that have happened, so I’ve kinda lost my girlfriends.”

Staying Drug-Free
“My mom’s never had a drink in her life because she doesn’t like that kind of stuff at all. My dad grew up with an alcoholic mother, and I saw how that really hurt him, so I would never want to put myself in a position where I could hurt someone from the use of alcohol or drugs or whatever, so I’m not really into that kind of thing.”

Make-up Must Have
“I have lots of different favorite beauty products. The thing for me that I always have to have is blush, because I think that just makes you glow. So, no matter what, I always throw that on. My favorite one is by Benefit, because they look really light, young, and pretty.”

Her Curfew
“It’s not like my mom’s some hard-core drill sergeant. My parents basically just let me kind of do my thing, and my dad’s like, ‘You can hang out until whatever with the people you want,” but it’s like, I can’t break their trust. I need to do things that they would want me to do, because otherwise it becomes a problem and you start breaking trust. And then I think you’ve lost everything if you’ve lost trust with somebody.”

The Fans
“The reason I do my show is because I want to make people laugh, I want to make them smile. I don’t want to be criticized. That’s not ever what I want. People try to say that I’m catty, but I really love people and that’s why I do what I do. I genuinely love my fans, I genuinely love the people that I work for, and I really want the best for them.”
