Not every first love has a happy ending

First love is a memory that almost everyone carries for a lifetime... whether it lasted for days,months or years,it leaves and imprint on our hearts that time rarely erases...I may not always become our forever,but it is often the beginning of understanding what it means to love...
There was a time when I believed every fairytale...A brave prince would arrive on a white horse,defeats the demon with a magical sword,rescue the beautiful princess and take her to his grand castle...then came a wedding that seemed to last for days,followed by those four magical words:"happily ever after"...
As a little girl,i believed love was just that simple.But as I grew older,i realised that real life doesn't always come with white horses,magical swords or fairytale endings...
As I stepped into my teenage years, those fairytales began to shape my dreams...i wishes that one day a prince would come into my life,just like in the stories...i imagined myself wearing a beautiful gown, riding beside him on a white horse,heading towards our own happily even after...
Those were also the dayswhen romantic television serials filled my evenings...the hero and heroine would begin by arguing over the smallest things,only to fail deeply in love later...I watched every episode with excitement , secretly wondering if my own love story would untold the same way...
Like everyone else,I too had a crush during my teenage years..i treasured those feelings deeply, keeping te safe in a corner of my heart...As time passed,that innocent crush slowly became what I called my first love..
I dreamed of a future where our paths would meetband remain together forever... But life doesn't always unfold according to our plans...some people enter our lives only to teach us lessons.. Shape our hearts.. and help us grow..
Though we were not meant to be together, i hold those memories with gratitude.. Goodbye tobthe memories of my first love... They will always remain a beautiful chapter of my life filled with dreams and hope... But life had something even more beautiful waiting for me... God had planned to give me the best... In time, i found my true love-th person who made me understand the difference between admiring someone from afar and being truly loved...
And that's story for another day... In the next story, i will share when and where i found my true love, and how our journey began.. Until then, i would love to hear from you.. Have you ever had a first love? Did life reunite you with him/ her or did it lead you to your true love instead?
