When I was young so long ago.
I fell in love for the first time.
Nothing in the future would
ever replace that feeling..
It left the ink of a tattoo
on the inside chambers
of my heart.
I remember I held
nothing back from you
I gave everything I had inside.
I thought then that
the pool of love I had was as
Large as any ocean.
So I let it flow recklessly.
But one day it was empty
you had it all and left me.
Even after all these years
It never refilled
beyond half full.
What I did not know
back in my reckless youth.
Was that not everyone
Has a heart as soft and gentle
and as giving as mine.
