It all began with a simple glance. I was in my polytechnic, doing what I always did—attending classes and struggling through my assignments.
But this one day, something different happened. As I walked down the hallway, I noticed a beautiful girl. She had long, dark hair, a captivating smile, and a kind aura that drew me in.
Didn’t dare to approach her, contented with admiring her from afar
I was instantly smitten. I wanted to approach her, but I was too shy. I told myself that I was too intimidated to speak to her, so I kept my distance. I was content to just admire her from afar, but I was also curious to know if she might be interested in me.
Decided to grow some balls and approached her, to my surprise she was also interested in me
One day, I finally mustered up enough courage to approach her. I was nervous, but I knew I had to do it. I took a deep breath, walked up to her, and introduced myself.
To my surprise, she was also interested in me! She had also been noticing me for a while but did not dare to approach me because you know, girls will always be girls.
We started talking and exchanging contacts. We talked for a while and I could tell she was just as intrigued by me as I was by her.
We would meet up to go to school together and wait for each other to end classes.
We started dating soon after. It was a whirlwind romance—we were so in love and couldn’t get enough of each other. Every time we were together, it felt like time stood still. We’d stay up late talking, go on adventures, and just enjoy each other’s company.
It wasn’t long before we knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. We got engaged and set a date for our wedding. We said our vows in front of our family and friends, and it was one of the happiest days of our lives.
Now, years later, we have two children, a beautiful home, and a happy life. I’m so grateful for the courage I found to approach her all those years ago.
I’m glad I took that leap of faith and got to know her. I’m thankful for the wonderful life we have together, and I’m looking forward to many more years of happiness.
