First Love, Lost

We met beneath the fading light

When hearts were young, and dreams took flight

Your smile, a spark that lit the dark

I thought our love would leave a mark

But time moves on, and hearts can break

The promise we made, we couldn’t keep

I held your hand, but lost the way

And now I weep for yesterday

The laughter we once shared is gone

Replaced by silence, cold and long

The love we had is drifting by

A memory that makes me sigh

The first love’s flame, once burning bright

Has turned to ashes in the night

I wish I could turn back the years

Before the pain and all the tears

I see your face in strangers’ eyes

A fleeting hope, a sweet disguise

But when I reach you slip away

And I am left with skies of gray

Our hearts once closed now feel so far

Like distant light a fading star

The echo of your voice still calls

 But I’ve learned that love won’t always fall

And though the world may move ahead

I’ll always carry what he said

First love may end, but it remains

A bittersweet and endless pain

The places we once went to are now

A shader paths a broken vow

I walked alone, with memories pressed

Of what we are, and what we left

Your touch once warm, is now cold as stone

The Absence feels like too much to own

But through the ache, I still recall

The sweetness of his first love call

The dreams we shared now lie in the dust

But in my heart, they still burn just

I long for what we could have been

A future lost, a love unseen

The world keeps turning days pass by

But I’m left with a silent sigh

No matter how I try to heal

First love pain is all I feel

Beneath the stars, I close my eyes

And still, I hear our last goodbye

Though time may heal the wounds are true

A piece of me will always be with you
