The Memories Of The First Love Poem by Mary Joy Lumanog

Highschool Days...

The memories of mine full of life
Like a roller coaster ride...

I remember the day I met my first love
The day he said 'Hi'
A special Hello I learned to see
How can love be so a mystery.....

He's been my buddy every time..
He's a very good friend of mine
He's there when I'm struggling with my maths..
He's there to help me with my project...
Teaches me to dance like no other can...
Encourages me to sing...I never thought I can

But time then passes by...
In school were together
My feelings for him no longer
friendship...

Feelings for him go stronger...
I thought there's no other..
Feelings for him I hid
Not to destroy our friendship...

There comes Jane I new friend came..
We three are best friend be...
We three share the same spirits
Same likes, same hobbies..
Music are the best..
Through music we share the same talents..

Oh, how sad...
How can be love be so blind...
He didn't see me the way I do...

One day..
He called me on the phone
Saying he likes Jane...
How weird for him to ask..
The things he'd like to do to win...
Jane's heart...

What a fool of me to say...
he should do this and this..
But my heart now is full of pain..
What else can I say..
I am one to blame...

Then, then I learned
They were together...
and telling me through a letter..
He's glad and happy
For me to be their friend
and Hoping I have no hurt feelings..
That we still together now and forever...

We three still friends..
We still have time together...
Time passes till the time of JS Prom
I realize they were happy together

Then comes our Senior Year
Our final year..
Counting the days
we might not see each other

But then the secret love for him lingers
Despite I know He love Jane not me never...
Well I guess now I see..
that they're for each other..

Two weeks before Graduation...
He came to me and said...
Jane and him broke up...
I never thought I heard it right...

Well, then it was their end
How come, how can that be...
He broke my heart for the second time..
To see Jane hurts for what he has done..
The reason I don't know why...

What a roller coaster ride..
After graduation..
I learned he entered Seminary...
I thought he'll be a good priest you'll see...

First year comes in my college...
My love for him still there..
Or is it hate that replace..
But I still did wait...

I saw my former classmate..
Saying to me that he got out of Seminary
He broke my heart for the third time...
Of knowing he'll make it this time...

And now at last we've been..
Saying Hi
Seems like yesterday..
That used to be...

Ask him why he's here in this time..
Which is enrollment time in
our school that time...

He told me the reason why..
Choosing the school as mine...
Why is it he made it so hard..
Coz love for him lingers in my heart...

I thought it is enough..
For it is hard to mend a broken heart
Coz now I think I should give him up...
Coz love is not there..only hate and despair...

A memory of my First Love
I learned from him a lot..
And its time for me to keep..
Memories highschool had gave..

I wish him all the best
And all the happiness...
