a box of memories

You know honey

we never meant to part

just differences of the heart

you went to college,i went to war

you were always the girl next door

we dated all through high school

you were a cheerleader

and i was the star quarterback

you were my first kiss

my first time 

you are all the memories

that dwell in my mind

i still have your ring,

and all the other memories,

you left behind.and i hope 

that i'm a sweet memory in your mind...

It's amazing where are journeys take us. How we got to here and now. It's in these quiet moments, we reflect, then thoughts drift us back to a "once upon a time" Reminiscing of a first love, wondering what could've been. It's kind of bittersweet, but sweet nonetheless. I'd like to think a first love is someone, who will always be dear to our hearts. They remind us of a time of innocence, promise, and hope. Beautiful poetry Ron. Leaves me feeling nostalgic. Love this.

Romantic notions about reality are called romantic for a reason. And yet, James Hetfield of Metallica said it best: the memory remains.

This is so sad, but so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I love how four stanzas can create a story, love and love lost. Hugs < 3

Beautifully written and wonderful sentiments. We never forget our first loves, but my wife of 8 years proved to me that there can be a love just as strong if not stronger. I did notice some minor corrections that need to be done. ('I' and I'm) need to be capitalized. (you left behind.and i hope) and (you went to college,i went to war) the period is in the middle and the comma should be a semi colon. Eliminate the comma after (memories) and with the format you are using you can capitalize the first word of each sentence. Wolf_Lord but my frns call me Wolf, and I hope you will be one. Wolf ,'', ^@@^ ,'',

Beautiful piece of writing. Clear use of words, which makes the poem much more emotional and really makes me as a reader reflect and think about the time when I met my first love. It was the most horrible feeling when she broke up..I mean we were just 14 or so and the relationship lasted just for two weeks but still hurt a lot though..but we got back together two years ago after two and a half years of not really talking to each other and me always trying to keep a distance because I was still hurt.. But anyway.. Great poem!
Greetings,
Thomas
