Thief

What would it be like

when you have your first crush?

Would you ran up to me,

and tell it with glee?

What about your first kiss?

That experience full of bliss.

The spark of love in your eyes

is what I'm dying to see.

And when you fall in love,

I wish you could tell me.

A dreamy sigh, a real tight hug

are what I longed for each day.

At your graduation ceremony,

there's nothing I wouldn't pay

to see you smiling so proudly

for your first big victory.

But time broke my heart in two;

Your first crush, your first kiss,

your first love and future dreams;

All these, death have stolen from you.

At night, I lay awake thinking

of what used to be and what could have been.

Pray tell me, what should I do?

Every day, I hate the thief that took you.
