I was only in sixth grade when we first met
we went steady then you met another girl
I met another boy we went our separate  ways
But you were “My first love”

I went to a different high school  and had new friends
One friend wanted me to meet this guy she liked
She said he was the best of best and you know what
It was you “my first love”

I moved to a new town and met a man
The day I went to get fitted for my wedding gown
The person who parked my car
It was you “my first love”

As I stood looking into the nursery at my new child
I saw other people there too looking at theirs
When I turned to leave who else did I see
It was you ”My first love”

The years went by my marriage failed
I turned to a group of people like me
and who happened to be in that room
It was you “My first love”

We talked for a while sharing our pain
We reminisced about our younger years
Wishing silently to tell each other
It was you “My first love”

How my heart broke today as I read the news
You had come to an untimely death
Sadden for I was never able to tell you
It was you “My first love”

Oh, so heartfelt and beautiful and so so sad.  My heart goes out to you, Kitkat.  You have cherished the memories, always remember to do so.

KitKat-

My heart hurts for what you've gone through.
Reminds me of my resolve of long ago
not to 'keep the words of love to myself'.

You just reminded me to call three people
that may not have known until just now ...
how much they mean to me.

Thank you .... I wish you love spoken.

WoW, =(
