It was such heartbreak
Absolutely could not make
Any sense of our breakup, I
Was so heartbroken, could not in my life makeup, I
Struggled and watched you
As you paraded the corridors spreading your love.
I was devastated beyond comprehension,
Humility in gentility, understanding beyond the ordinary,
Kissing smoothly while caressing with a careless abandon
That drives the senses to heightened calm pitch
You took the first step of reconciliation,
You gave another chance when all stood against
You held me to your bosom and allowed me to breath in your sweet fragrance
I remember your first kiss; smooth, gentle, unwavering
You held me tight and I was in love
My dad was against our love, he preferred the other.
Mom loved you, no wonder you reached out when she lived to eternity
Glad we are together again.
My first love, Poetry.
