My First Love

"My First Love"

They say that our first love is the most purest and the most innocent one that we had. That is no lie, It was the most purest and innocent one that I had. It was the moments that I still reminisce today and I'm glad that I had met her. 

It first started when I was Grade 2, It all started from that one dance that I had with her. It was perhaps the most gracious and probably the only memory that I still remember that year. I don't know the other details but I once held your hands before and I had started to feel that weird bump in my chest. I didn't know what love was before. I know how to love someone, but the idea of loving someone romantically isn't there. 

When I was in Grade 5, Exactly the first day of the school year. I knew that I really liked her, She was the only one that I could tease and eventually, I fell for her. I still remember the days that I have spent with her and I confessed to her. There wasn't really any answer to it but I really didn't care as I didn't really took that seriously because we were that young before.

Fast forward to this year, a lot of things have already happened, and we met once again. This time, it was different. The first half of this year was unexpectedly a comedy and full of mysteries. I have rejected her for a particular reason but I kept looking for her hoping for a reconciliation. No matter how I rejected the idea of it, It still comes back and eventually here I am, falling in love to an angel.

It was a rom-com but with no interaction whatsoever. We liked each other for a very long time and yet this year was the year that we were able to say what we really feel. I didn't imagine that my first love would be the one that I'd be together today. Every time I reminisce the day that we first danced, every blinks of our eyes, until to the last taps of our foots, I know myself that I'll forever love her.

No matter how much we deny it, how much we reject it, we would always remember the days of our first loves as they were the ones that first gave us butterflies in the stomach. It may end up as a failure but you know that it was the most innocent and pure kind of love that we had before, but if you'd ask me that if I am sure with her, I'd confidently say that "Yes, I loved her way back from the start, and I won't let go of this ever again."

"Oh sinta, sana naalala mo pa. 'yong mga unang sayaw nating dalawa, kasi sa bawat pagpikit ng aking mata, hanggang sa huling indak ng mga paa, alam kong habang-buhay, iibigin kita."
