People often say that first love is the purest. For some, it’s just a cherished memory, but for others, it becomes a lifelong bond.
Whatever the outcome, stories of first love are always compelling.
I fell in love with a classmate but couldn’t work up the courage to tell her.
Instead, I teased her, trying to get her attention. On graduation day,
I made a thoughtless joke that left things on a sour note.
After that, I moved to another city, finished college, and tried dating, but none of it felt right.
Five years later, my classmates organized a reunion.
When I saw her there, she looked more beautiful than ever. Impulsively,
I did the craziest thing—I proposed to her in front of everyone. She said yes, leaving our friends in shock.
Later, I found out she had loved me too. Now, we’re happily married,
With two wonderful children, and we recently celebrated our tenth anniversary.
We love each other more every day, though I sometimes regret the years we spent apart.
