My First Love

It was the first day of school,
I was happy to meet my friends cool,
I knew that I would rock this year,
And make proud all my near and dear.

As I was speaking to my pals,
I gave a glance at the gals.
And I thought my heart skipped a beat,
Coz I saw there a new girl sweet.

Never did I see a girl so cute,
I kept staring at her, mute.
I didn't care about what's around,
Coz my first love I had found.

I fell hard for that girl with glasses,
She was in my thoughts during all classes.
But to talk to her I was very shy,
The lack of courage made me cry.

Finally I gathered up my dare,
What others think I didn't care.
I held out my hand and closed my eyes,
And stood still like frozen ice.

She smiled as she greeted me,
The inner me danced with glee.
I really shouted in my mind,
"How can someone be so kind?"

I praised her with words big and small,
That she was the person with qualities all,
She blushed as she looked into my eyes,
It was enough to melt me like ice.

In no time we became best pals,
Which made jealous the other gals,
Not talking to her means the day was wasted,
If I had to leave her, I would die instead.

She too seemed interested,
I learned this from my friends trusted.
She liked me a lot, and I was no less,
So I knew it was time to confess.

I couldn't sleep on the night before her birthday,
I needed to write down what I had to say.
I also made a cute ring of paper,
Which I would give when I confessed to her.

The day of confession came at last,
I got ready and went to school fast.
There I saw her, the princess of my heart,
I stood in awe as I admired Nature's art.

I wished her a happy birthday with a cheer,
As everyone left, I made myself clear,
I held her hand and sat on my knee,
I looked into her eyes and asked, "Will you date me?"

She blushed as she nodded a happy yes,
I was happy that my quest was a success.
We sat that whole day together,
It was a memory to cherish forever.

I gave her all the teenage love I had,
She never gave me a chance to be sad.
We spent the bus travels in each other's arm,
It was our love in us that kept us warm.

We used to glance at each other,
I used to touch her hand walking past her.
We knew that nothing could end,
The string of love between us without a bend.

Finally came Christmas, the day of giving,
We knew that this was the right timing.
Our empty classroom was our mistletoe,
As we swore to support, in joy or woe.

She did give me atlast, a kiss,
Nothing could break our love bliss.
But Fate had plans for us in store,
And as we suffered, She kept giving more.

Suddenly to leave school, I was told,
Thinking about her, tears rolled.
I didn't know how to tell it to her,
I always thought of it when with her.

When I told at last, she bitterly cried,
She begged me to tell that I lied.
But it was the truth, I couldn't change it,
The fire of love was put off soon after it was lit.

The day finally came, to go away far,
I tearfully looked at her from my car.
She ran to me and gave me a chocolate,
But to give her a gift, it was too late.

I couldn't contact her through text or call,
I knew I had to give up my hopes all.
Never did I know that I would see,
A story of my life that took away my glee.

I cried for days with her thoughts,
I couldn't even say her I miss her lots.
In agony, I made many a regrettable error,
Whose consequences till now I suffer.

I still wish I could get back to her,
I really don't want anyone other.
But I should suffer, I made the sin,
I had to give up, and let Fate win.

After three years we met again,
Mature enough with all the pain.
But I couldn't that moment frame,
Coz things between us weren't the same...
