We Were

A Poem About First Love

By Lucy PerrinPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

We were summer love

First kisses, stolen moments

Mumbled wishes

We were young love

Laying in the sand, cheeky memories

Of a fumbled hand

We planned our lives together

Our future

But now we know better

We drifted apart

The movies always miss out that part

We were fifteen

Just playing at adult

No one is to blame for it ending

It was nobody’s fault

Now we are twenty-one

The tender innocence is gone

Things we used to whisper of,

We have both been and done

With a different soul

But time has not yet taken its toll

Your eyes still twinkle

When our thighs intermingle

Only now there’s a need

And with our learnt confidence, a speed

We were just kids playing at being adult

Now we are two adults

Who grew up too fast

Wishing time would halt
