First Love

I remember it well:
As if I kept the butterflies
In a little, dusty glass jar,
And am peering through the scratches
To watch their paper-thin wings shiver.
I will never forget how they
Flitted about my stomach
When you said you loved me,
And I replied.

Fleeting as a bird, you looked at me.

THAT NIGHT

I Miss You

You know that time right before you fall asleep. The time when everything slows down for a moment. That's the best feeling. The last thought I always think before I drift into unconsciousness is you.

The Best Memories.

I remember hand-holding, The sea, the grass, our smiles, The endless walks across the sand, Our talks could stretch for miles.

First Love

First love or first lust It matters not, She is still resigned to imagery not forgot. To feast upon and linger when your loins are old. To fumble in the lonely night to chase away the cold.

Don't you miss the sunny days. I look back And see them through a haze, I see happiness And joy In a glance But it seem so far behind. I need a friend, The forever kind.
