Firsthand Experience
October 17, 2010
Twelve years ago
We couldn't comprehend
What love was firsthand
But kids change and grow
At 10 I left you behind
You wondered why
I never said good bye
But I didn't leave your mind
At 18 I found you again
And this I swear
You became my prayer
And my sweet amen
We're so close
I hear your heart beat
I feel your body heat
Scaring away our ghosts
My lungs fill with smoke
As you puff your cigarette
But we didn't regret
Once we awoke
I grab your hand
You kiss my head
Our cheeks flush red
Cause now we know love firsthand

Eight years later I found him on Facebook and we hit it off.
I cherish everyday I'm with him.
