Enchanted

They say that We fall in love three times. The first love, The Intense Love, and The Unconditional Love. My first love happened at the mere age of 15. When I had a crush on this guy in my class. In that moment, I believed he was my true love, and each fleeting encounter felt like magic. Yet, after we changed schools following 10th grade, my infatuation slowly dimmed. By the time I graduated from 12th grade, I understood that my heart had yearned for something deeper, realizing he was not my true love after all. I was yet to meet my man.

At 20, intense love swept into my life when I met a boy during my postgraduate studies. We dated for a year and a half, only to realize we were not meant to be. The heartbreak was profound, letting go seeming nearly impossible.

After months of tears and longing, I slowly began to heal and nurture a sense of self-love that had long been neglected

And then, three years later, I met him-the one who felt like he was meant for me all along and all i could say- i was enchanted to meet you
