First Love’s Indelible Memory Pure

Deep in my memory remains a pure vision of a first love,
long-forgotten—now conjured up as a present-day image.

This rare, soulful reflection harkens back to another time
long ago to a period of discovery and youthful innocence.

The slow and perpetual ravages of time—dim and affect now
these memories except those replete with passion and emotion.

Other images also enter my mind of things that might have been,
and of things that could have been, but in the end—never were.

Perhaps like many others, very seldom do I ever dwell on such
memories buried deeply in my mind and spiritual consciousness.

With such memories buried so deeply, also come those moments
of inexplicable pain, confusion, and an aching sense of real loss.

But, alas, as I awaken from this image-laden daydream of the past,
I realize the different path and direction I took was the right one.

If there be a lesson to all of this, it is to always know yourself, and
to never be afraid of what love’s pain my bring your way in life.

You can overcome it especially when you realize the role that fate
and destiny play in this whole process as you mature and move on.

The past ghosts of love’s pain are just that, they lie in the past, and in
the past as they should remain as you seek real true love in your life.
