Just a boy was I
A young boy
With no knowledge of love
But soon to own that joy
Without knowing why
I fell in love with a girl
To me, a girl beyond compare
The prettiest in the world
Her smile as Cupid’s arrow
To the core of my heart
To begin my life’s elation
Of utmost beautiful art
But soon my ultimate prize
Would move far away
Leaving me all alone
To live my life another way
Over many years
I’ve wondered why
Why she came into my life
Did I fall victim to a lie?
But a lie dissected
Under my heart’s microscope
If this love is wrong
It would have washed away with soap
I’ve always known
I’ll never see her again
So why do I hold on?
Without even a trace of pain
To love her
Till my time is up
To some an impossible dream
But I’ll not give up
To go the distance
Proving at least to myself
I fell in love with the very best
No room for anyone else
And that’s how I roll
To reach for my life’s dream
My heart’s quest for love
The impossible dream

Sharon\'s Poet (Pseudonym) (

- Comment from author about the poem: A few days ago, I listened to this song by Jim Nabors. And I was so amazed that I had to listen to it a second time. Suddenly I realized how for me, the song relates to why I’ve held onto my first love of Sharon for so long. I know most people in my situation would have given up on that first love many years ago soon after she went away. But this song made me realize that I don’t need anyone other than Sharon in my heart. Many people know when they meet the right person in their life and that person is “the one”. I knew a very long time ago that Sharon would be the one girl for me. But life tells you to look for someone else to be the one. I knew I couldn’t live my life according to those rules. In a letter I put in her 8th grade school locker in 1971 just before she moved away, I told her I’d always love her. And I knew then that I’d never go back on my word. I meant it then and still today 49 years later. So, this song exemplifies why I hold onto the feelings I have for Sharon. I know many would see it differently, but loving one woman for the rest of my life is my Impossible Dream. I hope this explains why I love Sharon as I do and why I write poetry for her. I wrote this poem after listening to this song. Thank you for reading and understanding. - AP.

I was captivated by both the commentary and the poem - so touching and so so sad. Superb work.
Aww such awesome poem on a first love from so long ago, an appealing way you express it, the story does make us curious, why can't you find ,meet and win her love now. Perhaps she could read this poem? I was admiring the microscope stanza most but the entire poem is romantic and fantasy like. Kudos.
Plz do read and comment my newest poem too. Thanks.
