[ the concept of first loves ]

first loves;

one of the many greatest forms of torment to exist,
the method of building up a person for another,
two words that come with the loneliest meaning,
an adjective meant for nostalgia and memories,
an old ageless tale of hurt and ache and youth,
the inevitable consequence of wrong timing,
can be a lesson or a lifetime wound that never heals,
often used as a prelude to a happy ever after,
a timestamp for reminiscing the good days

nothing but a tangent line

she was my first love
he was my first love
we were each other's first loves

have you noticed how it is always
used in the past tense?

why do we normalize the separation of first loves?
