This story began at my favourite season of the year. Christmas and
the story ends in the same season. It was December 24, an unforgettable
day in my life because that was the day I fell in love for the first
time. Our meeting and separation happened so suddenly but created
countless sweet memories. I still remember every second of it.
How can I forget you? You are forever etched in my memory.
 I’m not a beautiful girl but I’m naturally proud. So, first I ignored
you, I was scared because I had never seen or heard of you before. You
wanted to build a close relationship with me but I disagreed. Because my
parents are very strict and I have promised myself that I would never
fall in love with anyone before I get my own job. You were a stubborn
character who didn’t want to leave me, always tried to convey love
towards me, so I started having a secret crush on you.
Your field of work caught my interest as I have a fair knowledge of
it. But your behaviour was very difficult for me to understand. Although
my heart loved you much, my mind wanted to analyze you. It caused an
argument between my heart and mind, however, finally my heart won.
Whenever you conveyed your love I had to hide my feelings with fear.
You wanted to change me and challenged me. But by that time you had
already changed one stubborn girl into a romantic person. We have had so
many sweet memories.
We shared sadness and happiness together. Can you remember the jokes
and fights? And how I refused your love and I hid my true feelings. I
left everything to time, for time to find a better solution and for
which I prayed to God. You finally got tired of my continuous denial.
Then we started to get distant. I couldn’t bear to lose you. When I
expressed my love to you ultimately in spite of all the barriers, it was
too late. You had left me for another one. You had found your soul mate.
What you did must be right on your part. But that day I also lost my
life.
I couldn’t control my life, I cried a lot. It was a secret love; I
had no one to tell. During that time I had to face a lot of problems
because my parents had got to know about us. I could face all of it. But
not the sweet memories. There’s not one day I didn’t cry.
I have never been close to a guy my whole life. You were the first. I
can’t forget my first love like others, so my heart will love you
forever. You worked hard and became a successful businessman. My prayers
are always with you. I think your partner is a charming princess. May
you live with her happily ever after!

Love Lines
 My tears of pain
I sit in this empty room
Trying to figure out what to do
It’s been eight months and you’ve forgotten me
But here I sit, unable to let go of your sweet memories
I remember how we met on that fateful day
How I kissed your sweet lips
And proved my love to the whole world,
But now sitting in this room
with my blade kissing the blood running in my veins,
Wishing the pain to take away the memories
And the regret.
Had I not wanted to see your face
Or kiss your lips
Had I locked my feelings in a cage of iron, and
hoped for the greater good.
I would have still held you in my arms
till the end of time...
