First Love
By: Colleen Tucker
You’ve never stopped loving me,
in all the time we’ve been apart you still held onto your love for me,
and I can honestly say that you weren’t the only one,
I held onto my love for you just as tight as you for me,
and when you told me that you still loved me I felt my heart piece itself back together,
You were my first love,
the boy that first made my heart leap for joy,
even when we fought I found that I couldn’t stop loving you,
it was as if you had been made especially for me by God,
that was something I could never deny,
you were made for me just like I was made for you,
Every day that we are together I will thank God for it,
I will thank God that you are mine,
it doesn’t matter that we may not last forever,
nor does it matter that we might last forever,
it only matters that I have you now,
I will love you now and forever,
when I am old and gray I will tell my grandchildren about my first love,
the one whose kiss made my heart jump in my chest,
that boy is you,
always has been and always will be you,
of that you can be sure.
