First Love
First Love
Just a dream, just a dream
That’ll never, never be
A love lasting more than thirty years
To a man that’s taken
A man true and faithful
To a love from his youth
A girl who happens not to be me?
As we lost touch some time ago
Some wait a lifetime
Not ever thinking of second chances, but
First love sometimes returns to some
With memories etched in hearts of both
The proverbial rocking chair
Sundry portraits of experiences
About other loves not meant to be
Before bonds of union reunited
Living happily forever after
From stretches of life as a young one, and
Knowledge of wisdom as a mature soul
Finally, embracing love with your first love
Review Request (Intensity):
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Last few words:
one thought create a poem
