Poem Title:
Poem
First loves last forever, That's what they say. A tie that will not sever, Even if you go separate ways. The memory lasts a lifetime, Engraved deep in your heart and soul, As if serving life for a crime, Without any possiblility of parole. That was the "special one", Who knew you so well, With whom you had so much fun, Memorizing their sensual smell. A unique and only experience, Since they were the very "first". Sweaty palms, butterflies; all making you tense, Until you touch, quencing the thirst. I know this because I'll never forget My first love from long ago, Regretting that we called it "quits", Now that we've had time to grow. We were so young then, But so much in love. Realizing now what could've been, How we always fit like a glove. He was the one I should've married, This I found out a little too late. Thinking what we had was long buried, Now realizing that was a mistake. If I could turn back the clock When he asked me to be his wife, Down the aisle with him I'd walk, Giving him the rest of my life. Has my opportunity vanished completely, Or is there still a chance, Of saying, "I love you" so sweetly; Recreating our past romance? Do we still have emotions to explore, Or is all lost in his eyes? Will we be together once more, Or have we said our "good-byes"? I pray that this is not the case, While I lay it all in his hands, Waiting to hopefully see his face, But if not, truly I understand. I'm just glad to have him and still do For the time we did share, To at least be "friends" will stay true, Nothing else can even compare. (10/18/98)
