First Love

I thought that love was great 
Until it happened to me
For when I fell in love with you
It wasn’t meant to be.

I gave all I had
When love came my way.
You took all, and sadly
Then you wouldn’t stay.

And I know as my heart is breaking
And I feel it will never mend.
That this is just the beginning
Though I wish it were the end.

What can I say? I'm a rhymer by nature. In response to your other comment, If you had all my poems in order and read them, You would know my whole life story.

I think it is hindered by the rhyming, but nice, i felt it, short, sweet, and vague enough to be related too on different levels.
