First Love

Swings made of tires, they swayed underneath us

And my favorite songs were your prettiest words

The summer of that year was my best disaster

I fell so in love with everything you were

 

You'd laugh now if I told you now

That every other memory

Is of all the things we talked about

And all the things we didn't say

 

I miss the way your face smiled when you said that you get nervous too

And the night that I realized that I was in love with you

Maybe or maybe not, you were my love and I want you back

It's been so long, and you've moved on, but I haven't yet

 

I think all that I need is a heart to heart

A conversation of remember whens and lullabies

You were my best friend and good things die

Lets have a reunion of the perfect life

Jess, this writing is superb at any age.

And my favorite songs were your prettiest words

That every other memory
Is of all the things we talked about
And all the things we didn't say

Maybe or maybe not, you were my love and I want you back
It's been so long, and you've moved on, but I haven't yet

I think all that I need is a heart to heart
A conversation of remember whens and lullabies
You were my best friend and good things die
Lets have a reunion of the perfect life

You know a poem is good when you end up highlighting most of it lol.
This one goes in the library.
Thanks for the poetry lesson.
You've got a lot to teach.

Awesome job.
