The First Time

We are given a chance,

among the worst something left

otherwise, hopeful

circumstance.

As I spoke to you,

once,

I loved you

as simply as that.

Now to go back,

T cannot

but going on,

will not forget the first time.

POBTRY

You likewise

with me must be

testament

to pain's indifference.

We are only careful

for such a memory, more

careful, I think,

than we ever thought to be.
