Goodbye My First Love
To my lover from long ago,
You were the one to set my heart aglow
I wish I wasn't so young back then
When I knew so little of men
Hurt and pain was all I could see
Hence twas only heartache that could be
You with your scruffy hair
And clothes worn threadbare
As u went thru life with seemingly hardly a care
Your lovely mischievous smile
Was blessed to know you, if just for a while
To heal every woe you dearly tried,
Through many days I continuously cried.
Thank you for all the tears you dried,
When with life I could hardly cope.
Thank you for holding out on hope.
Thank you for holding me so close,
As my darkness upon me did impose.
I pray you never let your dreams die
That you let you soul free to fly
That with the seasons passing by
U know the best in your future does lie
I'm so glad to have known you true
Even though I was mostly so blue
You and your brainy head
And all the books you have read
Days spent on the beach
As in each other we did beseech
Long walks under skies azure
So many memories mostly a blur
I'm so sorry I hurt you so
And hope that you have truly let go
That I don't as a shadow hover
As you attempt to trust another
To give your absolute all
And leave the pasts shrieking call
Thankyou for everything
For all the love you did bring
Thank you for loving me
And helping me set myself free :)
