When I Close My Eyes

I close my eyes
lay my head a pone my pillow
for the first time in weeks I dream of you 
the laughs we had
the memories we made 
the kiss we shard
the love we had

as I woke with a startle 
I notice that tears still
streamed down my cheeks
why they streamed I had no clue 
but i knew it was not 
from anger, or regret
but of the lost of my first love
the lost of happiness that I’ll
remember for all my life

I close my eyes Lay my head upon my pillow For the first time in weeks I dream of you: The laughs we had The memories we made The kiss we shard The love we had As I woke with a startle I notice the tears still Streaming down my cheeks Why they streamed I had no clue But I knew it was not From anger, or regret; But of the loss of my first love The loss of happiness that I’ll Remember all my life.
