My first love was alluring yet painful,
Every time I go back to those reminiscences,
my heart is crying like a tired child for one fond look,
and I feel like I could have done so much better.
It was a Saturday when I first saw her,
her skin was like honey – sweet and fragrant,
made my heart skip a beat
for I had never seen anything so breathtaking.
Her skin was a russet color
and Her hair was midnight-black,
flowed over her shoulders..
That first moment when we saw each other
is inscribed in my cranium.
I can still hear my heart throbbing noisily in my chest,
as her eyes landed on me in my indlu.
Her eyes were a light hazel,
they were lovely eyes,
full of life,
and capable of expressing love.
When you are around happiness fills in my heart.
As I see you again and again when you are away,
happiness fills in my heart.
As I think about the moments we spend together.
After you came to my life,
I am always happy.
No matter where you are,
your name is now carved,
in my soul for you are part of who I am now.
