I remember my first love.... oh! so vividly! It was a silent love.... violent as the sea! The waves came pounding.... head started throbbing! It was like a cloudburst... something new to me! He first appeared... a gentle smile! A tender hello... my heart was pounding! Well, I was sixteen... never been kissed! I was frightened... scared out of my wits! We became best friends... best buddies! Three years went by... without a touch! Without a kiss... only best buddies! Until one night... he vowed his love! Said, let us be wed... sad to say I was scared! Said I, take me home... sorry forever and a day! This love I can’t forget... until the day I die! I will love thee... in silence!
