My First Love

Hello steemians, its @jayboi again.
This time am sharing with u a short story about my first love and my self.....Happy reading....

I was just eighteen years of age when I fell in love with a girl two years younger than me.It was the most ecstatic feeling and I still cannot get over it, although I was an adult then, but I still have vivid memories of that girl and how I felt for her.

I was a smart, bubbly and a cute adult who enjoyed life and was living life to the fullest, when suddenly life changed for me. I had set my eyes on her the first time when i visited the orientation camp, in Osun state, Nigeria and she was chatting with her friends. I found her so beautiful, I was floored! Though now when I look back , I laugh it off as mere infatuation, but I don’t know why I felt an instant connection with her, when she looked into my eyes, my heart fluttered and excited at the same time.

You won’t believe it, but I never spoke to her, but still I felt a strong connection to her, she was so beautiful and so good looking, that whenever I used to look at her I could not stop myself from staring at her and she hardly bothered to even turn around and look at me. For she I was insignificant as I was much older than her, therefore she hardly even tried to take any interest in me. Each time when i see her coming my way, i quickly arrange myself to appear more cute , but everyday she used to be so engrossed in chatting and playing with his friends that she hardly took notice of me.

I was so mad after her that I used to stand in her sight for hours on end, just to get a glimpse of her and sometimes I used to keep peeping out of the window, so that I could see her walking down the street, but I would spot her only a few times, rest of the times I would just sadly retreat to my home chores.

As days passed things remained the same when slowly and gradually she started noticing that I stare at her all the time, when I am around her, in the street or in any shop nearby. Once I remember I was standing at the entrance of a shop and she suddenly walked in with her friends, probably to buy something. I turned around and as usual started staring at her and she was standing opposite me when suddenly a lot of people came in between us and it was a funny situation and I could see just one half of her face and I caught her staring at me with one eye!I was shocked as it was so sudden and the depth with which she was staring at me cannot be explained in words. There was admiration and tender love in them! I then left the shop feeling very shy and till now I cannot forget that look of hers in the shop.

Another time I felt very shy was when we both passed each other when I was sent to buy something in the second street, We were walking on the side of the road and she suddenly saw me walking down the road, She was chatting with her friends and when I passed her, I stopped and I quietly tried to pass her and then she turned around and looked fondly at me! I walked away feeling shy and embarrassed at the same time. Anytime I came in direct contact with her and whenever she looked at me I always felt a soft tenderness in her eyes and the warmth of her heart touched me deep inside.

This girl was not that tall as me and fair and had the loveliest hair and a very beautiful smart look and whenever I looked at her I went weak in my knees. I used to dream of her being near me and talking to me and we spending time with each other, but I could never muster enough courage to ever stand in front of her and talk to her. Though i was not too small, but too naive to even think of it! Things went on in this way for a few months and nothing happened till one fine day when she smiled at me! Just imagine my princess charming smiled at me, finally she took notice of me, and I must tell you, it was the most beautiful smile I had ever seen!

I was coming back from a shop where i went to buy something as usual and when she saw me coming and when I passed her she did not do anything, but when I went a little further and turned around as I heard some noise behind me and I looked at her, she smiled at me, I was too shocked to respond in any way. I turned around and went to my home. I did not know what to do ,but I was mesmerised by her first smile. It was so sudden that I was at a loss of words as to what should my next step be,but fate had other plans for me . Just imagine my bad luck, that when I could think of having a relationship with her, as she had finally acknowledged my presence and smiled at me, I had to go, I had to leave the city, back to Ibadan.

My mission in the orientation camp was over and I had to leave the very next day!I had to travel all alone, it really saddens me but i have to leave, I could have had a beautiful relationship with this girl whose name also I did not know!I don’t know till now whether it was love at first sight with her or was it infatuation, but one thing I must say and that is, that I will never forget her ever and all that I felt for her. Certainly it was my first love, whether it was infatuation or not I don’t know,but it was my first experience of any exposure to the opposite sex and you won’t believe it that I could never like any other person ever in my life after that, other than my present girlfriend.

First love is like a fresh blooming flower in the morning sunlight,it is like the first most memorable fragrance you might have smelt in your entire life! It is the most wonderful feeling anyone can ever have and those of you who are reading this story, might feel that I am crazy as I am calling my first crush to be my first love, but only I know how I felt when I was around her and when she looked into my eyes,it was the most ultimate feeling I have ever had in my life. It is unforgettable and I still cherish those tender feelings I had for her.

Thanks for reading......
