Remember the first time that you told me hello?
It was an awkward moment that I will always know
I remember us laughing in that simple, little moment
A time when we lived solely for our own enjoyment

Remember the first time that you held my hand?
A moment filled with confusion that I didn't understand
I had felt warmth and a tingling in my heart
A memory in my mind that will never depart

Remember the first time you held me in your embrace?
An action filled with love and done with such grace
My own heart started beating like an endless melody
A song that never stopped in our own little fantasy

Remember the first time that our lips finally met?
A beautiful moment I will never forget
It was like an explosion of love that I cannot truly explain
A metallic wine or the sweetest tasting champagne

Remember the first time that you told me goodbye?
The only moment we had that I wanted to die
You were gonna leave me because you needed to be free
I let you go because I knew your lover was something I could never be

Do I regret my decision?
I regret it every second that passes by
Because you will always be my first love
And my love for you will never die...
Goodbyes never hurt me
It's always the memories that follow
To live in such a cruel reality
A world so insensitive and shallow

A goodbye is just a moment
But the memories are stuck on replay
To think we deserve such torment
We remember each and every day

A goodbye will not hurt you
But the memories will shatter your being
Break your heart into pieces
Your life may even lose meaning

Goodbyes do not hurt you
They are only the beginning
A life that was once so simple
Turned into a life so unforgiving
A life without love
Is like an ocean without fish
A garden without flowers
A sound without noise

A life without love
Is a morning without coffee
A smile without joy
A word without letters

A life without love
Is a life without you
And the life I am living
I saw you flipping through the pages of a book
And I thought to myself I'd do anything to be that book
You were interested in it
You took the time to read every line
To understand each and every word
The way your eyes stared in passion, curiosity, excitement...
The way you smiled at the new information
Everything I've always wanted you to do to me
To actually want to know me...
To actually want to understand who I am...
To smile because you learned something new about me...
To flip through my pages and learn about my life...
Who knew I'd be jealous of a book?
They say the first one to fall in love
Will always be the first one to fall
HARD.
I didn't believe them
Then I saw you
And now I wonder...
When will I ever get back on my feet again?

"Arf! Arf!"
I can see him from afar
And oh - is that a ****?
Yesterday he got hit by a car
It left him a big scar
As the years passed by
We noticed something different
It makes me want to cry
As the cancer cells destroyed his ligament
I didn't know he was sick
Until he was thin as stick
And my worst nightmare came
He's not the same, he became lame
Then he became blind
We traveled just to find
The medicines that he needed
But it was too late
His little sight and sound of us slowly faded
I guess it was the hurtful fate
He was not given to last forever
He was given for us to share memories together
For a short period of time
The sound "Arf Arf" became the best rhyme
His death anniversary is near.. I made this poem to show my love for my late dog, Bishop. He showed me the true meaning of love and loyalty. He went through a lot of challenges: he got hit by a car, he was lost and abandoned until my uncle found him, and he suffered a lot of disease. It was the hardest thing to do, letting my first love go.
Wait, don't go!
It's all that I can say
I've fallen so low
It's been one heck of a day

I don't know what to do
I can't reach you
Not even a spec
Without you, I'm a wreck

I tried to run after you
But then I fell on the dirt and clay
And then I realized
My legs didn't work the same way

I can't remember how to walk
I've been crippled for so long
I didn't know how to stand on my own
Now I know, my perspective was wrong

My life didn't depend on you
I need to stand up and rise
And to cure myself
And soar in the skies

I am not pretty perfect porcelain
I am a beautiful piece of coal
I don't care how you see me on the outside
Because I know that on the inside
I'm beautiful enough
if not more

I never tried to face my fears
I end up bursting into tears
I just want to be in the swim
Even though I am not that slim

But this year I won't be the same
I would not be that so-called "lame"
I promise to use some prudence
When I boost my self-confidence

If you're too skinny or too fat
Please remember that you're perfect
A friend will give your back a pat
It's time to show yourself respect

Try to have a conversation
To Him who made you beautiful
In His eyes there's no exemption
He will make your life colorful
So stand up, and face your fears
