Remembering First Love...

Remembering First Love

Dedicate two minutes to the first love of your life

When all you wanted was to be a lovely pair

A good husband and a wife

For some first love maybe was

At the age of 7

And they don’t even remember all the details

But still ‘heaven’

Heaven is what the moments can be compared with

So is the essence of love

Love, beyond time

Beyond truth yet not a myth

Dedicate two minutes

Two minutes to someone whose mischief

Made you smile

To someone who once stood at a call

but you behaved like it’s miles

miles that separate you

and due to shyness you couldn’t call

dedicate two minutes to someone who taught you what blushing is

to the first love of your life

first love

who was once a teacher

and for times was a friend

sometimes showered love as a mother

sometimes was more a foe

sometimes brittle as iron

and sometimes as dough

first love

who for times made us cry

for some who didn’t even bid good bye

and for some who couldn’t bid good bye

for some a prized possession

for some

as deadly as poison

for some an unforgettable dream

for some their first scream

but at the end

someone unforgettable

either as a sparkling drink

or as a bitter medicine

doing wonders within

but for some still bad

something worth hatred

first love!
