The first time I fell in love was like stepping into a world I never knew existed. Her name was Pooja, and she had an aura of warmth that drew me in like a moth to a flame. We met in the quiet corner of a bustling bookstore, where our shared love for literature sparked a conversation that would change my life forever.

With each word she spoke, I found myself captivated by her intelligence and wit. Her laughter was like music to my ears, filling the air with joy and possibility. Who would have thought I would fall so cheaply, don't blame me if you've never fallen in love, lol.
As we spent more time together, exploring the pages of novels and sharing our dreams, I realized that I had found someone who understood me in a way no one else ever had.

Every moment with Pooja felt like a treasure, each smile and touch goes into my memory and settled there. And when she looked into my eyes, I knew that I had found love in its purest form.

But as quickly as it began, our time together came to an end, leaving me with a bittersweet ache in my heart. Though our paths diverged, the memory of that first love remains a cherished chapter in the story of my life, a reminder of the beauty and wonder that love can bring.
