"First Love"

I loved the way you smile

I haven’t seen it before me

In quite a while

Sometimes I see it out there

But from me 

it’s an entire mile

I loved the way you joked

How we had bantered and poked

How I used to want to hug you

And how much I had loved you

I loved your face of freckles

They killed me with a glance

Dots and speckles

Created my true romance

From a dying kindle

All these memories

Always seem to remind me

Of items I used to select 

From the bottles of my brain

On the very top set

I take down a jar

That was named “First Love”

If only it stayed on set...

Now it just climbs higher above...
