First Love
As I curl up into a ball
The tears splash
On the back of my hand
And stay there.
Yesterday, I was reminded
Of your love
Your arms wrapped so lovingly around me.
You stirred in me passions
I never knew existed.
I know I don't want you back
But the memory is painful.
And I've tried to forget.
Everytime I think I have
Memories come flooding back.
I'm exhausted of your haunting
Will I ever know
How to love again?
Will I ever consign you to oblivion
Then, from nowhere it seems,
The power of these words engulf me
"You never forget your first love
No matter how hard you try."
(October 7, 1998)
