First Love

This is a poem I wrote thinking of the first person I ever loved.

You, my first love out of three

Came to me it seems in a dream

Your cool attitude made me swoon

While I was safe inside my cocoon

I watched you with my hazel eyes

Because you were not like other guys

You started to notice with little pride

Then I would gasp and try to hide

Our relationship started to bloom

When you woke me from my tomb

I might have been a little shy

But you were not I can't deny

You showed me I deserve to be seen

Even if I was only the age of sixteen

Part of my life was worth the while

When I got to see that handsome smile

I thought one day to be your bride

We would walk together side by side

But the dream turned into a nightmare

When you said you had something to share

You said you were scared of me

Because I was calm like a tree

While you were always getting into trouble

And didn't want to drag me through the rubble

I wanted to scream I wanted to shout

But I was so stunned nothing came out

It broke my heart to say goodbye

When I got home all I could do was cry

I watched you with those other girls

It made me jealous as you spun them in twirls

We were still really good friends

Eventually we made amends

We both have gone our separate ways

But I still remember those days

When your presence made me swoon

The only difference is there is no longer a cocoon.
