You know,
I fell in love with you the first time I saw you,
The first time you walked up to me and handed over your thoughts
The first time you smiled and borrowed my painting brush
The first time you sat on the floor and looked at me and smiled
The first time you called my name and shook my hand
The first time you poured me a glass of water and shared your lunch
The first time you fought with me and swore never to turn back
The first time you kissed your girlfriend and thought of me in your mind…
I remember,
The first time you touched my lips with your fingers
The first time you kissed my forehead
The first time you bought me the daisies
The first time you hold my hand
And,
The first time I knew what you meant
The first time I saw a dream
The first time I smiled when I cried
The first time you made me live.
Then,
The first time you walked away from me
The first time you hurt my soul
The first time you made me cry
The first time you left me all alone
The first time you laughed when I was blue
The first time you cared less when I was sick
The first time you shut your doors on me.
And the first time you made me think…
Each time I skipped a beat in my heart
And lost my words to say…
Though you will remain in my heart forever
The time has drifted away.
The first time since we met…

Reads like a benediction .. a magic .. cannot say whether a mere person even deserves so much love...maybe it's nothing to do with the person being loved, all to do with who has love to give.
Dante had written:
Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita
mi ritrovai per una selva oscura
ché la diritta via era smarrita.
Ahi quanto a dir qual era è cosa dura
esta selva selvaggia e aspra e forte
che nel pensier rinova la paura!
Yet he had come out of his shadowed, savage forest using his love for Beatrice as a beacon - this love is of that magnitude.
Rabindranath had written one of his famous songs:
"Knadale tumi more, bhalobasharo ghaye"
No matter who loved whom - this made me cry.
Gem of a poem - cannot quite get over it. The freshness of your poems is so incredible - read them again and again.
Awesome poem, one can not read just once. It touches the core heart which pulls out all the emotions in form of tears from eyes.
Below lines touches the soul of a person who fell in love anytime in life...
The first time you walked away from me
The first time you hurt my soul
The first time you made me cry
The first time you left me all alone
And below lines are the vista of a heart which wakes up everyday morning with a glimpse of expectaion
Each time I skipped a beat in my heart
And lost my words to say…
Though you will remain in my heart forever
The time has drifted away.
The first time since we met…
