To the first man I fell in love with…
We live far apart now,
But in my heart,
You never really left.
Memories of us warm my days,
And though I miss your touch,
I keep you close in my mind.
Years and miles may separate us,
But my love for you stays true.
Every little thing, a song, a scent,
Brings you back to me.
I still dream of your laugh,
Your hands, the way you looked at me.
Late at night, before sleep takes me,
I imagine your voice,
Your arms pulling me near.
And when the sun rises,
I find myself wishing
just once more, to hear you say my name.
We were so young then,
Two hearts full of fire,
Clumsy and brave in love.
Now, time has changed us,
But what we had stays bright.
Even after all this distance,
A part of me is still yours.
So until life brings us together again,
Remember this…
You were my first love,
And that never really fades.
Wherever you are,
Know that somewhere,
I still hold you gently in my heart.
