First Love

I was happily walking along Orchard Road when, suddenly, i saw this familiar looking person walking past me. Just when i was caught thinking in my own world, someone tapped me on my shoulder, "Apple, how are you?".

It was Keith - my first boyfriend. We got to know each other in the secondary school. That year, i was elected as the student counsellor for my class and he was the president of the counsellor's club. We began seeing a lot of each other and eventually fell in love with one another.

Keith is not exactly good looking but he has his own charisma. He has been understanding and sweet to me, giving in to my unreasonable demands most of the times. A year after we started dating, i discovered a BIG secret about him - He's a flirt. He has been seeing other girls behind my back. He even tried to ask my best friend out. He apologised and i agreed to give him another chance.

Soon, we went on to college after our 'O' levels. We began seeing less of each other. The final straw came when someone told me Keith was seen holding hands with another girl. I confronted him and was told i should learn to take things easy. With that, i ended my 2 years relationship with him.

Trying to recover my shock, i managed to say 'hi' and make some conversations with him. Keith is married with 2 kids and he's also doing well in his career. I am happy for him as a friend.

As for me, i no longer feel anything for him. He is just another friend to me. I am happy with my present life with a doting husband and a beautiful child.

Our romance is already a thing of the past - only sweet memories of my first love are left behind.
