My first time of falling in love
On my first day in my new school, I was very happy to meet new friends but at the same time sad to leave my old friends, who were like my siblings.
My journey with Isabell, Ella as I mostly call her, was like a chemical mixed in heaven. As a new student I came early and sat on first row, but was caught in awe, by the beauty of a young goddess sitting at the edge.
She was slender, tall, her hair was a rich shade like blossoming flowers, glowing silky skin and a bright green eyes, she seems a picture of perfection.
When our eyes met, my brain turned blank, the world ceases to exist as clock quites to tick, the feelings were strange, something I can't explaine, she looked familiar but I couldn't remember where I have seen her before. That was in final year in secondary School.
Ella felt same,as her body was filled with goose bump, we starred at each other for a long time.I followed after her, during break period but met her in group of her friends. As naive as I was then, meeting a girl was not that easy, not to talk of group of girls.
All my efforts that day were in vain,I went home deep in thought, on what to do to quench the fire consuming me. I thought of writing a letter, but it would be odd, if people find out, especially as a new comer.
Fate sometimes makes a good deal, we were in same group during practical the next day. I didn't hesitate to tell her my mind. She stood silently, starring at me with a mixture of curiosity and wonderment, without a word.
Many times we walked home together after school, weekends were our worst enemy, because we didn't see nor have phone to communicate, our major means of communication was writing. She turned out to be my best friend and reading mate.
On one occasion, my parents travelled and I invited her to our house, Ella was a good cook, we cooked coconut rice and made salad, the memory still lingers in me like yesterday.
We have been to many outings together, mostly ice cream stores, vanilla was her favorite, and have gathered many sands in pinics.
Although, we haven't spent a night together but had made many plans about our future, starting from carrier, where I desired to be a medical doctor, in order to save lives. And she chose law, because of her passion to fight injustice in the society. Our plans covered ways we can save money and our undisputed plan of been together for ever.
She can not withstand seeing me in pain, and would do anything to make me comfortable. I'm very thankful for her being my first love because she had shown me how to love and made me understood that unconditional love is possible.
I know nothing last for ever but didn't expect our relationship to be that short. After our senior secondary exams. I went to their house, but received the news that Ella was no longer staying with her people, although she told earlier that she was not living with her immediate family but I didn't know she was a total stranger with no traces.
I have searched the whole world looking for her but no where to be found.
Please,if you see my Ella tell her that I'm still single and alone........................................
Love is a beautiful thing, build a healthy relationship and grow each other.
Happy Sunday fam ❤️
