FIRST LOVE


How long does love persist

I have not seen you

In countless years

Still my thoughts are with you

Sunny afternoons

Climbing trees

Running along the beach

I can feel the sand between my toes

Even the scent of your hair is fresh

Walking up the hill

To see the sun set over the bay

Laying back watching the stars

Dreaming of tomorrow

Nothing beyond

Living in the moment

Summer days and nights

I still hold you here in my mind
