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...

I hold in my heart dear, all of those earlier loves. Each touches our lives and changes us, hopefully for the better and to become a better person. But love is never a regret.

Title got me hooked on, but your poem was even better :) Poets like you have one rare speciality, vivid imagination! I'm not talking about this poem in particular, but all your works show it. What? Vivid Imagination. So, keep that skill of yours up! And you'll do great in life, you're going places :) I CAN TELL!

Also, please do try to review my latest piece called 'Letters to Rachel' It's something that I'm proud of and would love a little review, I mean that would make my day :)

Thank you so much for sharing,
Regards and Infinite care!
Please do message me if you need anything, I'm always there to help.

Very nice, what else could we ask from a first love other than to be a sweet memory.
Nicely written. I enjoyed it a lot.

There's nothing like the "first love" and you've captured this perfectly. When life intrudes and we never reunite with that first love, there's a sense of loss, curiosity, wonder about what could have been. Enjoyed this and sent me back to my own little box of memories.

i thank you again!

Your first stanza is a penultimate introduction for this poem. I insisted that my special someone keep my ring, and he still has it as well. I swear we are like pages in a book, together in proximity, but never on the same page. The music video is a sweet accompaniment as well.

[Desert Rose]

indeed, that first one is always special,
i root for the last one though (^^)
well done!
