My first love

           

Trigger Warning // First Love, Miscarriage, Heartbreak

--

My first love –

had red hair

and hazel eyes.

(I guess that's why

everybody warned

me;

gingers are

considered

heartless after all.)

My first love –

was my first

at

everything.

My first love –

was my very

best friend

for years.

My first love –

met me in my mess,

and made me the

woman I am today.

My first love –

gave me the

confidence I

desperately

lacked at

fifteen,

            sixteen,

            seventeen.

My first love –

gave me my

very first

true love.

(who was taken

from me too

soon.) 

My first love –

has hurt me

more than I

deserved.

My first love –

once told me

that

he was the only

person who

would ever put

up with me,

            my mouth

            my attitude

            my mood swings,

the only person who

would ever love me.

he was wrong.

My first love –

taught me everything

I could ever know

about love

even if he couldn't

give

it

to

me.

To my first love –

thank you,

for everything;

the four years

we spent

together;

and the pain

you gave me.

I'm exactly where

I always needed

to be.
