First Time I Fell in Love

Also Read

Like a captain floundered in the ocean of ice

Sinking deep in pain but unable to scream

That was how I felt

The first day I fell in love

Dinner had no taste

Friendships had no meanings

All I wanted for life was you

That was how I felt

The first time I fell in love

Sleep scampered from my bed

Night left only worries behind

I rolled alone on my mat

And smiled continuously at nothing

That was how I felt

The first time I feel in love

There was melody everywhere you were

With you the sun smiled and the wind sang

I gave my heart for you all at once

But you grinded it into powder

And blew it into the air

Without looking back

You left without any goodbye

Vowing your love to any other but me

This heart may be strong enough to forgive great betrayals

But will never heal from the wounds of love

For the deepest of all pains

And the sourest of all tears

Are those caused by those we truly love
