First Love
First Love
A love worn photo from within
my drawer
a testament to a love no more
Yet your face still haunts
my dreams
never to depart it seems
Remembering your sweet
and heady smell
your soft enchanting touch
I knew so well
No one could love you more
I know
I loved you more than words
could show
Where are those green fields
that I miss
those long and sultry days of bliss
For there we stole
a lovers sigh
a loving kiss a soft goodbye
A love we both could not deny
even though we would not try
Your voice still whispers
in the wind
a promise never to rescind
To love each other evermore
till again
we meet at heaven's door
What folly was it then
we made
lying in that cool green glade
For alas...I lost you
to another
sadly gone was my first lover
Though ....but for dreams
we are apart
you'll always dwell within my heart
Never, never to depart
