I know you didn't want it, <br /> and by the way I didn't ask, <br /> but, I admired you back then, <br /> ... you never knew. <br /> <br /> I knew I never had a chance with you, <br /> I kept it to myself, <br /> just friends, I guess, <br /> but, every song I ever heard, <br /> was all about you! <br /> <br /> I had a ' crush ', and I was crushed, <br /> when he was kissing you, <br /> and I should have gotten over that, <br /> - - - I never did. <br /> <br /> Yes, I moved on - - - <br /> that's what we do as human beings, <br /> but... the first crush, and the first love, <br /> is something that we never will forget. <br /> <br /> The investment was the heart, <br /> and the soul was even harder, <br /> - - - in looking back, it's not that much, <br /> - - - but, it was everything back then. <br /> <br /> The one that thinks she was ' my first ', <br /> - - - at least in caring, <br /> was maybe second , at the best, <br /> though, in other ways ' the first '. <br /> <br /> To some, it's more important , <br /> to be the first in certain things, <br /> and I never will forget those, <br /> ' Other Things '! <br /> <br /> I know you didn't want it, <br /> and by the way, I never asked, <br /> but, I still think of you quite fondly, <br /> ... without permission. <br /> <br /> Only one of us will ever know, <br /> who these words are written to, <br /> and if you think that it is you, <br /> - - - I will deny that!<br /><br />Barry Van Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/first-love-47/
