First Love

First Love

Went looking for my first love

To see how she’d moved on

Back in that small town

Where I once belonged

Found out she’s still single

After heartbreaks just like mine

Saw her from a distance

She still looked oh, so fine

Called her on the telephone

Her voice still mellow sweet

Asked if she remembered

Asked if we could meet

I was nervous to see her again

Trembling hands and butterflies

But my angst simply vanished

With a gaze into her eyes

We shared a meal and had a drink

We talked the whole night through

“What brought you here?” she asked

“I came hoping to find you

“I never could forget you

You’re still underneath my skin

I want to keep on seeing you

Get to know you once again

“You were my first love

But you slipped away from me

Now I want to find out
If we have a different destiny

"We’ll go slowly if you want to

We’ll go quickly if you prefer

Discover if we’re the same or different

Compared to what we were”

Went looking for my first love

Lost when life intervened

But now she is my last love

And the answer to my dreams
