Dear First Love


Dear First Love,  

 

I was so scared

of messing everything up

that I ruined it all anyway.

 

You were so good to me,

but I didn’t treat you

the same,

and I missed my chance.

 

I never got to tell you

how I truly felt.

 

I let myself

stand in the way of our

relationship,

and it kills me

that I let you slip away.

 

You got father

and farther away

from me.

 

I miss you.

 

We were supposed to be happy.
