My First Love Affair

Love is a beautiful feeling, isn't it ? Love affairs are beautiful too, are they ? Well, let me tell you about my first love affair today. You may find some glimpses of your first love affair too after reading this. If you're thinking that you never have had any love affair, then just read this till end, you will feel loved.
