LITERATURE: "My First Love" by Hailey Olivarez


Classification: Poetry

Theme: Love

Synopsis: Someone who is falling inlove for the first time.

-

The first time I saw you, 

I got some chills;

“Does this make me ill?”

“What is this feeling?”

“Is this some kind of fling?”


Starting from that day,

I was never the same.

My heart has started pounding rapidly whenever I see you,

Always showing up—out of the blue.


The last time I saw you with some other guy,

I would admit, I kind of cried;

“What am I doing?”

“This is stupid.”

“But, this makes me envious a bit.”


Was it destiny that brought me to you?

Or is it the other way around?

Is this love?

Was this from above?

Or is it just my imagination?

I figured, maybe we needed more communication.

All these thoughts,

It somehow makes me frightened. 


...


After some time, I finally understood—

So this is love;

The feeling that lingered for so long—

It was you—who I needed all along.


That smile I always see, 

Making my eyes flee.

If only we could be together,

All the pain will feel like a feather. 


Your beauty is unspeakable,

Why are you just so loveable?

Someday, I'll win your heart—

My love for you will never part.
