He once said, the first cut is the deepest. I didn't believe him. But now I know it truly is the deepest cut.

It was my second week in a mixed boarding school and there you were right behind me, with your gorgeous eyes, staring at me, I thought you were just pensive. But the next time I turn and you look directly at me, that's got to be something else.

"Hey you look familiar. Do you stay around Bugolobi?" Those were the first words you said to me after three weeks of I constantly finding you shamelessly staring at me with your captivating eyes. It's also the first time I lied to you because I thought this was too good to be true.

April 2013.

Yes I never told you this but I saved that money with hope of running into you because I knew exactly where you stayed. When you described the place to me that one time we spoke in class I knew exactly where it was.

Like any girl developing a crush, I got dressed in my favourite shorts and T shirt plus my new sneakers and came out to look for you.

There you were, like you had been waiting for me all this time. You saw me the minute I passed by and like the love sick boy you were u ran after me. Can I say that's the time I started loving you? Because no boy has ever chased after me. I didn't know that I was beautiful until you saw me, until u started staring at me like I was your whole world.

Am sorry Paul, am sorry that I hurt you that way.
