First Love

FIRST LOVE

BEFORE I GO TELLING THIS TALE

HEARKEN ME

I AM NOT ONE WHO HAD THE BLESSING OF LUCK

MY LIFE WAS ONE SORROW AND IT SUCKED

LONG HAVE I LIVED

WITHOUT HOPE OR JOY

SEEING WORLD THROUGH TEAR STAINED EYES

HIDING MY HEART FROM EVERY EYE

BUT ONE DAY CAME AS SUCH

WHEN MY HEART CHANGED SO MUCH

THE WALL OF LONELINESS WAS KNOCKED DOWN

BY A SINGLE PERSON WITH EYES BIG AND ROUND

I FELT THE WALL CRUMBLE

ALL AT ONCE

I WASN’T ABLE TO UNDERSTAND

WHAT TURNED STEEL TO SAND

MAYBE IT WAS HER EYES

BIG AND ROUND

ONE LOOK FROM IT

AND I FUMBLED

MAYBE IT WAS HER LAUGHTER

SO CLEAR AND LOUD

THAT I STOOD

RIVETTED TO THE GROUND

MAYBE IT WAS HER HEART

SO KIND AND PURE

THAT I FELT INSTANTLY

I WAS IN LOVE FOR SURE

SHE DIDN’T KNO ABT MY FEELINGS

FOR A VERY LONG TIME

AND I LOVED HER EVER MORE

AND MORE AND MORE

WE WERE GOOD FRNDS ALL THE WHILE

AT EACH OTHERS THROATS ONCE IN A WHILE

I DO NOT KNOW ABT HER

BUT I ALWAYS MELTED SEEING HER SMILE

I FOUND OUT THAT MY HEART COULD FEEL

THAT IN REAL IT WASN’T MADE OF STONE AND STEEL

BUT IT HAD SUFFERED A VERY GREAT DEAL

WHICH ONLY LOVE AND CARE COULD HEAL

AND THEN CAME THE DAY

SOME CALL IT MOLE DAY

FOR SOME ITS JUST 23^RD DAY

BUT FOR ME IT WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE D-DAY

EITHER SHE GOT IT OUT OF ME

OR WHETHER I WANTED HER TO KNOW AT LAST

AT LAST, THE TRUTH WAS OUT

SHE SAID SHE LIKED ME

AND NEEDED TIME TO THINK

TO LET HER LIKENESS TURN TO LOVE

AND THUS LEFT IT AT THE BRINK

WE HAD SOME UNFORGETABLE TIMES

MOMENTS OF HAPPINESS NOW LOST IN TIME

I YEARN FOR THEM

SEEING HOW IT IS NOW

ITS BEEN A MONTH SINCE D-DAY

WE HAVE SHARED JOY AND SORROW

AND KNOW EACH OTHER WELL

AS BEST AS WE MAY

WE FIGHT AND WE CLAW

WE LAUGH AND WE SMILE

WE HUM AND WE HAW

 WE CHERISH AND WE DELIGHT

WE FREEZE AND WE THAW

FOR WE KNOW

AT END

WE LOVE AND WE LIKE

EACH OTHER

SO I STILL LOVE HER

AND ALWAYS WILL

ALWAYS

LIVING APART FROM HER IS NOW MY BIGGEST FEAR

AS I HOLD HER TOO CLOSE , TOO DEAR
