Memories of Love--By Adam Levon Brown--United States

Memories of Love

I never wanted you to leave

but it seems it was in your cards

Pain has dulled to a cool numb after

all of these years

I sit and remember the laughs we had

and the times we shared

It bites at my core, the way we became I

and I became something I didn't even recognize

Broken promises and broken dreams

led to a full heart and a new, better dreams

But I still remember the times where I

thought you were everything

I experienced the sharpest pain I have ever felt

and greater joy than I had ever imagined possible

I made it through the paradoxical maelstrom

that is first love
