Longing For Him

I see him in the hallway
And lose every breath I take
I remember the reason why
My heart suddenly aches

I want to say ‘hi’
But can’t find the courage to
I remember those days
And wonder if it was all so true

I long for us to be friends
But he has moved on
All that I wished for
Is suddenly gone

I wish he would touch me
Embrace me in the warmth of his arms
But I have forgotten
He has boyish charms

I wish for us to be together,
To be one, not apart
But I know in truth
It’s only in my heart

Undying First Love

My first true love
Left my heart in two
It took awhile for me
To realize we were through

He was my sunshine
A place that was serene
But that was some time ago
When I was only sixteen

I've learned hearts will be broken
And crushes will die
But that doesn't mean
I should cry

Love comes and goes with time
And so will my heartache
I know that my first love
Was never a huge mistake

He will always be my first
The first sense of love
But I learned and can be free
Just like a singing morning dove
