The first blush. The first firecrackers that go off under your skin at a certain someone's touch. The first time your stomach has fluttering butterflies. The first time your heart threatens to hammer its way out of the cage. The first time you daydream about those eyes and lips and smile involuntarily. The first time you unmindfully doodle a name which is not yours in the back of your notebook. The first time you are ready to go to the sun and back for a smile.
The first invisible fall.
The first invisible break.
The first tears which cannot be forgotten with a chocolate.
The first time you realize you are in love....
For the first time....
