First love

He was the one who broke my heart. none before and none since.

30 years have passed since we last kissed
A lifetime for some
An eternity for me in some ways 
So much has happened to me since our goodbye
You don't know 
And you don't care
You never did though you told me different
Your love had no depth
Whilst mine was an abyss
My heart meant nothing to you
It was just a toy to be played with
A beautiful, soft toy that you managed to shatter like glass
How could that be?
How could you have hurt me so?
I was yours eternally 
But to you I was just wrapping paper

Goodness-ME, Caroline!🌻

Let me, please, present you this perpetual little sunflower, that you can keep it close on your bedroom windowsill and nevermore wake to sadness or the memory of one too shallow to see the true beauty and depth of your wondrous heart, mind, and soul.
One might wonder at how often we become so mismatched intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, and physically … often, compatible in some ways, while completely opposite in others.
And, you know full well how this can create a hurt that lasts farrr too long. It's much better to immediately find another to take their place and get over them who can't see us for the treasures we are, eh?
Never a good idea to keep a torch lit, burn all our fuel away for someone who can't even see it, when there are others who are drawn to you like a moth to a flame. And, it's wayyy more fun and freeing to attract than to be repelled! ; )
To me, this is a fine prose poem that hit all my sensitive spots of empathy and compassion for a lovely lady who gave her best to one who never deserved it, who deserves many more chances to give herself until the right one comes along to appreciate her for the treasure she is.
If anything, He should have been so lucky to be the wrapping paper for the valuably lovely present You are … wink*

Just my manly 2¢ to express what I see in you … hoping I didn't wear my welcome too thin.
With happy smiles 'n warmest hugs!⁓ Richard 🍃

I figured he was long gone.
I used the opportunity to wriggle my way into your graces, but I meant every word of it, too. ; )
I like it that you think we're bonding and that I'm making you smile.
More special is that my words warm your heart and you think my flower special … sighhh*

Thanks for the lovely hugs! 😏
