Awakening
Has a lifetime gone by? Surely it has
I met you when I was barely a man!
It was your smile......
It was the kindness in your eyes.....
It was your courage,shown in my behalf.....
It was the first time that I really felt love.
Although your efforts were genuine,how where you to know what I was.
A soul so damaged that I could not respond to the offer of your heart.
I tried to speak but powerful bonds held my voice.....
I wanted to show you,but I was paralyzed emotionally.
You........were gone in an instant........
A pain set in like I'd never felt before.
One that faintly remains even today.
Held in that moment of my early life,I remain there,as if a part of me has not been able to leave.
Until I grew enough that I could reach out and give back even just a little,to someone who meant so much.
So I say to you...... I am so sorry.......
my first love,my dearest memory.
