First Love

Midnight black hair 

and emerald green eyes,

she knew of a boy

who grew up 

right by her side.


Young they were 

when they first met,

but inseparable they became

as childhood friends.


In her heart 

were feelings

she could not

quite express.


He too 

waited for the day

he would hopefully confess.


To them 

their feelings 

did not seem mutual

but everyone 

could clearly see

these two longed 

to acknowledge

that which could not 

be kept secret.


For ten years

they were 

the closest of friends,

until the boy asked her 

to be his girlfriend.


And they embarked 

on their path

of happiness.
