To The First Man I Loved

I could never unlove you. But the love will never be the same. You will always be my unfinished business.

You taught me how a small thing

Could be astounding.

How the butterflies fluttered

And my heart pitter-pattered

 

Your presence was intoxicating

But absence made it disheartening.

My life revolved around you

Insisted that forever would come true

 

World seemed smaller

I held you tighter.

Gasping for air

You escaped from my lair.

 

As fast as the thunderlight

You were out my sight.

I couldn’t even say.

“Thank you for your brief stay.”

 

Sever the tie

I let you fly

To the groom I coveted

His place was abdicated.

 

My heart won’t go red

Even if madness lurks in my head

For the purest affection

Never transforms to indignation.

 

When dusk is finally over

And I am finally sober

Even if you walk in my life again

I will never turn insane.

 

We move on

Yet the love goes on

The first will always be you.

But the last can never be too.

 

Author's Note

Can't remember the last time I wrote a poem. It's like forever. I want to make more time in writing.
