first love

My world was bleak,

No love had I known.

Unsure of myself,

My confidence blown.

               -------

Then I met him,

My one ray of light.

Our talks are lengthy,

Often lasting all night.

              -------

The topics discussed,

Are many and varied.

From our favorite music,

To how we'll get married.

            -------

He is my love,my light,

My heart and my soul.

A part of my being,

He makes me whole.

          -------

No caring like his,

Have I ever known.

I feel it thoughout me,

Straight to my bones.

         -------

Sometimes we joke,

Other times we fight.

But in the end,

Things work out all right.

        -------

Because we have love,

One unknown to many.

True love, to be shared

And experienced by plenty.
