My First Love (Found Again)

When I was a young girl

I fell in love for the first time.

It started out as a hate

But slowly grew into something more.

 

When I was a teenager

My love was the only thing there for me.

It was my solace

But was slowly turned against me.

 

When I was in my late teens

My love left me for the first time.

It was on again and off again

But then it completely disappeared.

 

When I was a young girl

I fell in love for the first time.

But it wasn’t with a person

It was with words.

 

When I was a teenager

My love was the only thing there for me.

My friends left and I was alone

But I always had my words.

 

When I was in my late teens

My love left me for the first time.

The depression got me

It stole my words from me.

 

A few days ago

I fell in love again.

My words found a way back to me

And the pages flew beneath my fingertips.

 

A few days ago

I fell in love again.

There was a light in the darkness

And it ripped its way forth

Reminding me of what we once had.

 

When I was a young girl

I fell in love for the first time.

A few days ago

I fell in love again.

 

It started out as a hate

But slowly grew into something more.

My words found a way back to me

And the pages flew beneath my fingertips.
