I went back home after destroying the papers Mr. Hale had given me. For some strange reason it felt as if some weight had been lifted off my shoulders. My mind wandered about the moments I spent with him. My face heated up when I imagined how his fingers traced over my skin. I didn't know his name, but it still felt as if I knew everything related to him. Fidgeting with the pen, I opened my diary to scribble down whatever happened today. 

13th August, 

Everything that's happened has happened for a reason to serve a purpose to always grow and go through lessons in life which shape you to who you truly are. Meeting Mr. Hale was purely destiny. Though we had less time, whatever moment I spent with him was worth it. There couldn't be any richer feeling than the feeling of knowing that I as a person can be better today than who I was yesterday and will continue to be for tomorrow. 

I've made mistakes, I've fallen down the road, I've broken hearts, I've torn my family apart, I've lost those whose trust meant the world to me. Though my past wasn't that great, my present is. I wish to cherish the happy moments in my life and imprint them in my memory forever. I don't have any wish left. I

asn't the best person I knew back then but I also knew I was growing into bits and pieces to shape me to who I am today. 

It was an ultimate solution as he said. I so wished to stall the time and stay by him for some more time. I believe that we would find our way back to each other every time. I knew I would never see him again, or that when I did, it would be different. Maybe we won't recognise each other then or might not be meant for each other. This time it was. I had finally made my choice, and so had he. He let me go.

He will always be my first love. It isn't that he was the first man I liked, or the one who took my first kiss, but my first strong feeling. I knew  from the very first moment that my heart would belong to him. He got the best of me, I will never regret loving him. 

Maybe one day, we'll meet again and explain to each other what really happened. Maybe one day we'll finally understand. Until then, I hope you live your best life and I hope you really do all the things you always wanted to do. 

I placed the diary aside and laid back on my bed. Beautiful things come to an end, I mumbled before closing my eyes.
