First love

I was young

so were you

my heart was full

of feelings blue;

I loved you

dear, so much

so true; my love

you never knew;

you left me

soon, I felt

the ache, the pain

asleep, awake;

decades passed,

seemed only

a day, but I

cried, lost my way;

you were far,

I felt you

near; my darling

my soul sincere;

the years flew

the feelings

grew, no goodbye

ever, for we two.
