It happened then, <br />The tenth of June, <br />I recall now, <br />They played our tune, <br />It takes me back, <br />The day we met, <br />Love at first sight, <br />You don’t forget, <br />I heard your voice, <br />It’s with me now, <br />And it was raining, <br />Yes, and how, <br />I fell for you, <br />Right there and then, <br />I’m sweet sixteen, <br />And never kissed, <br />So this is what, <br />They say I’ve missed, <br />You’re in a band, <br />And sing the blues, <br />I never thought, <br />My heart I’d lose, <br />You’re just a lad, <br />Of seventeen, <br />The brownest eyes, <br />I’d ever seen, <br />And tall and dark, <br />And truly handsome, <br />You play guitar, <br />There’s no one dancing, <br />You look at me, <br />I walk on air, <br />I’m in the crowd, <br />You find me there, <br />My thoughts are racing, <br />Heart is too, <br />Why do I feel, <br />So scared of you, <br />I’m happy, yes, <br />I’m crying too, <br />And laughing, <br />Holding on to you, <br />Senses reeling, <br />Falling fast, <br />It’s such a shame…….. <br /> <br />It didn’t last.<br /><br />Linda Harnett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/first-love-14/
