Just a girl of fourteen years,
still naive and full of fears.

Our first meeting through a mutual friend,
Oh how quickly the feelings would begin.

The sweet memory of my first love,
you weren't one to push or shove.

One summer night upon my parents roof you sat,
You said you loved me; imagine that!

Maybe, they were just words in a letter,
but you said you'd love me forever.

With tears of our parting upon my face,
the idea of losing you made my heart race.

I was but a mere school girl,

but alas you made my toes curl.

Unable to date until my sixteenth year,

filled my young heart with fear.

Fear of the idea you'd forget me forever,

but you promised me that would happen never.

Then through the window on that sultry night,

you pulled me close and held me tight.

I trembled with undiscovered desire,

as your fingers lingered to my hips.

And I longed for the feel of your lips.

The pulsing warmth of your mouth pressed to mine,

I thought our love would last for all time.

The tingling sensation as our lips sought more,

I'd never had this feeling before.

The mysterious tingle deep in my belly,

The one that turned my knees to jelly.

The dewy nights summer scent,

you pulled away leaving me innocent.

Little did you know the feelings you awoke,

Feelings I'd have to hide with a cloak.

A cloak of years when you never returned.

Eventual the loss no longer burned.

The ring you placed upon my finger was inscribed with a"D",
I prayed to God, you'd never forget me.

Now some twenty-five years down the road,
Do you remember the girl,
you once promised to hold?
