Was It Love At First Sight?

Accidental Poet



Was It Love At First Sight?

 

Most people have a first love

Or one above all the rest

The one you look back on

Without question, the very best

 

Every now and then

That rear view mirror beckons

Mesmerized seemingly for hours

While in real time only seconds

 

Falling in love

Aimlessly head over heels

Rolling along a fast track

In the tunnel of love on greased wheels

 

For some it started while teenagers

Others as adults just by chance

Some say it won’t last

And for a select few a lifelong dance

 

No one else in all your life

Touched your heart so deep

And for no one else

Memories so cherished you’ll keep

 

That special place in your heart

A place reserved for only one

For their heart you crave

Keeps you warm like an internal sun

 

You’ll hold onto that love

For the rest of your days

As it embodies a benchmark

A heart of only one has made

 

You’ll remember those early days

An attraction so right

Did you feel weak in the knees?

Was it love at first sight?

      First Love has a place in your heart like no other and you always remember it. Great job putting it in words.

      • Accidental Poet

        Thanks lasergraph, I do feel incredibly blessed that I have that gift from Heaven. The gift of loving one girl/woman for as long as I have. And yet, she has no idea that I still do. Thanks for reading and your kind compliment. ; )

          Thanks WL. ; )

          All he knows is this new gravitational pull,
          and no desire to resist
          Suddenly it made sense,
          when he saw a girl and boy who kissed

          He never saw it coming,
          and puppy love is what they called it
          But when he became an adult,
          what then if he never out grew it

          AP, thank you for a great poem, and of course I felt weak in the knees!

            • myself and me

              First love in life, so far away yet close enough to feel.
              Beautiful poem.

            • Christina8

              Spectacular write! Yes I've been married to my true love for 15 yrs! Happy to hear you've been with your love a long time too! Congratulations on your long lasting love and this beautiful write!

              • Accidental Poet

                Actually, I've not seen her since 14 years old. And we never had any kind of relationship. It was mostly a one sided love. But it has been worth it. Thanks for reading and your compliment. ; )
