First Love

I wish I could put into words
These burdens that I feel
But whenever I think of you,
Things seem so surreal

First love's are something serious
Never quite escaping my mind
When I think that maybe I'm over it
It sneaks up on me from behind

Like a microscopic virus
Invading me inside and out
And when I try to block it off
It takes another route

It haunts me every night and day
Taunting me, because it can
I'm forced to remember good times
Until I've had more than I can stand

The feelings are overwhelming
I just want them to go away
But no matter how hard I try,
The memories are here to stay.

I'll never forget my first love
Though I wish I could move on
All I want is closure
And for the feelings to be gone.
