My First Love

I'd like to share a story with those that don't know this part of me.
It's about my first love and how it came to be.
It started out as a car chase and ended up in a parking lot
and we dared them to show up the next day; they called our meager bluff.

The moment that I saw him I felt an instant electric shock
and it happened again the second our eyes locked.
I remember what he was wearing and the sound of his nervous laugh.
The smell of that cologne will instantly take me back!

We really didn't think they'd show, but much to our dismay
they were inside and waiting on us on that cold February day.
We drove to the beach and along the way my friend said to me
"You're already lost in his eyes". I said "Maybe. We'll see".

Needless to say she was right and I was instantly hooked!
My lips were sore and my body ached for this man I adored.
Then one day his orders came and the relationship was over.
My heart was broken and it'd take years to heal the wound over.

A few years later we met up and together became one.
There are no regrets that we did; our time had finally come.
I remember those times with fondness and I thank God above
that he sent me a wonderful gentleman to be my first love.
