I fell in love

I could not look back in college and not remember my first love. I met Andrei when I transferred school. He's also taking up Communication and is a blockmate of mine. He said that he instantly had a crush on me when he first met me. I didn't feel it. But for him, it was love at first sight. I could only smile whenever I would remember how he used to be shy whenever he's around me. We did not talk until he got the courage to text me during sophomore year, and the rest was history.

I fell in love with a good man. A softhearted one. It was not hard to love you, Andrei. And our days spent together have been the best that I've got yet. I know that you are on your way to your dream now, and I am also working on mine. We may have gone separate ways now, but part of me will always be in love with you. It sucks how we could not talk anymore, how both of us outgrown each other and become strangers through time. But our 19-year-old selves would never know that, what they would just know is how deeply they love each other. And that is how I want to remember us. Not the fights, not the misunderstandings and disappointments, but all the shared laughter and jokes. Of how we always tried to be there for each other. And because of all that, I am so glad I've met you.
