High School Love Poem by James Casey

High School Love

I was a lot of things wrong, that was true
But, not the unconditional love I offered you

I was the luckiest boy in the world
I enjoyed the company of one beautiful girl

A sad day, for me, was graduation you see
I had no where to go, no place to be

I joined the Navy to see the world
And lost he love of that wonderful girl

She was my first real love, something deep in my heart
I knew that I loved her, right from the start

The Navy took it's toll, on me, in oh so many ways
But nothing to compare with the love, that I lost that day
