the boy
i close my eyes
as my thoughts
begin to take over.
And they're all
about him.
the first boy i
ever loved.
we were young,
so painfully young,
and had no idea what
we were getting into.
Two years older than i,
he was everything.
And i loved him,
and him, I.
I loved everything
about him.
The simple way
our lips molded together,
like two lost puzzle peices
finally finding each other.
The careful way
he caressed my face,
as he whispered sweet
nothings in my ear.
Even now,
with him so far gone,
I can still
feel the shiver of excitement
run down my spine,
at the mention of his name.
And he knew
how to make
every problem
dissapear.
We were so happy,
for so long,
and i was so
blissfully unaware
of the problems
that lie ahead.
He was my everything.
And i tried my best to
show my appreciation.
He was my first,
and when he left me,
i swore to be my last.
Sometimes,
When i'm not thinking
about how much i loved him,
My stomach knots
in pain,
remembering his "Bad" days.
He wasn't perfect,
but to this day,
I still love him.
But no one quite
gets over thier first love,
do they?
So i promised to forget him,
To never speak of him
again.
And for a while,
it worked.
But now,
I Am so confused.
This cant happen again,
I'm caught in a
Whirl-wind of emotions.
There is a new man
in my life.
One that seems perfect.
But it's a recipe
for disaster.
I think i love him,
but i can't risk it.
Can't risk the pain,
Can't risk the heartache.
Even though we're older,
love at our age
can't last,
..... right?
A quick kiss
from this new....
"friend",
would solve everything.
but it's too late now.
He told me he loved me,
and i denied his
invitation.
Surely if he loved me,
he would be waiting.
But that would be
selfish of me.
And besides,
no one can
make me feel
the way that
that first boy did.
No one can
drive me as crazy,
haunt my dreams
more wickedly,
kiss me more
passionatly,
or love me
the way he did.
My mind tells me
to be practical.
"high school love
won't last"
I shouldn't waste
my time.
And getting hurt
again just isn't
worth it.
But my heart
screams out to me
in anguish everytime
i see him
"Kiss him!'
but i am weak,
and have lost my
chance at love.
I gave too much
of myself away.
And now,
it's safe to say,
The boy has won.
