It is the most painful
and the hardest to overcome.

My first love
Karen

My mind is filled
with thoughts of you.
For your that special
love I once knew.

We shared our dreams,
hopes, and fears.
As our love grew stronger
over the years
we were like one big happy family.

There was nothing wrong
as far as I could see,
but somewhere
down along the line,
a stranger entered
and took what was mine.

It hurt so bad
I didn't know what to do
I tried and tried
to get over loosing you.

Each time I saw you walking by,
my heart ached so
and I would cry.

Then I swore I never again
would take a fall.
So I built up inside me
an invinceable wall.

It took a new love
so gentle and kind,
to ease the pain
and help me unwind.

Kelly,
taught me again
how to laugh and smile,
but those feelings would
only last a short while.

Cause my love for you
just wouldn't die
It caused my new love
to said goodbye.

Then you came back again
into my life,
and a short time later,
became my wife

I joined the Army
and they took me away.
Oh what a price
I would pay.

For you were at home
and I was here,
and you needed someone
to hold you near.

So you found another
to take my place,
and I knew what the truth was
I had to face.

The realization that
we were finally through,
and never again
would I have you.

Though it made the pain
easier by being apart.
It still couldn't loosen
the hold you have
on my heart.

Why is it,
I cant't let you go?
Maybe that answer,
I'll never know.
