First Love Visits

I dreamed of you again The first love of my youth I wonder what takes me there Exploring you again Wondering how decades later You still come to me In my dreams. I know we will never be together Our lives so different now But when I dream we are And our love so strong. I was just wet behind the ears When I fell so hard You just made me feel Everything around me was new The last time I saw you a gift you gave Still friends we are some 35 plus years later But you told me you loved me once more And there was the closure I had needed So many years before. Then why does it happen again What does it mean this time when I dreamed of you again

Jenifer, some sad feelings in your poem... however you expressed the poem well... and the imagery of falling in love from a younger age... always~ Linda

Lost love is that way. My lost love permeates nearly all my deep love poems, Jennifer. This is lovely. My sister's name is Jennifer.
