Guess I'M Still In Love With You

I came across my first love
You were always in my arms
Swore we’d never be apart
But I let you go

Now we are reunited
My heart just beats like a drum
I can’t take my eyes off you ...
My first teddy bear

Michelle Mac Donald Date: 2/11/2015 6:26:00 PM Nice to be reunited with something we'd loved since childhood. I hadn't liked dolls, it was those creepy faces frozen in time.:( Their clothes?
