All about Love

First Impression about Love



To my parents' dismay, I refused to change my school in the next session. I was in my early teens and had a huge group of friends now. Playing and chatting was our favourite pastime during the lunch break . I was usually gathered with friends. That was perhaps the reason why I failed to notice the gloom and pain in my best friend's eyes. One day she refused to play with us. She said she was not well and would rather sit in the class. After sometime I came back to classroom leaving all others behind to check upon her. I saw her crying. After my repeated requests she confided that she was in love... I was shocked, rather scandalized. Well that was something totally new and to be honest very grown up thing to me.

That evening I went to her home. She narrated the entire episode. He was her neighbour and she really liked him and as usual he already had a girlfriend. For the next few weeks I saw her in immense pain. She lagged behind in studies and was very quiet and sober. Her pain hit me and something snapped within my heart. I took an aversion to romance and love.

I decided not to ever fall in love... not knowing that when love hits, no barrier can ever stop it; and that the greatest thing you ever learn is just to love and be loved in return
