First Love

I recall a time

When we would play together.

Reckless and naïve

We would walk around

Aimlessly, and simply talk

About many things.

Bittersweet feelings

Over-run my thoughts as I

Try to remember.

The times we would

Chase eachother around the

School, feeling happy.

There was that time when

You played as my guardian.

I fell for you then.

Then summer came, and

We never saw eachother.

The fun at a close.

School came back quickly.

I will never forget how

I felt that first day.

Curiosity

Took over any sadness.

Where were you today?

A friend wanted to

Sit next to an empty desk

That would have been yours.

What happened to you?

It's been a week and you're still

Not coming to school.

They say that you moved.

A possibility, since

Grade four had started.

Days to weeks to months.

Six years since I last saw you

And when we last talked.

I wonder if you

Still remember the time spent

At Twelfth Avenue?

Even if you don't

Remember me, I don't think

I will forget you.
