MY FIRST LOVE!

 I was fourteen

She was thirteen

I had the stature

But she was smarter

We were both in the same class

But I really wasn’t her class

She gets with ease an A+

I struggle to get a C+

It was a contrasting pair

I really didn’t deserve her

Though I loved her to the core

It was clear she loved me more

Mummy used to force me to school

Now, nowhere could be this cool

She lured me to school with toffees

And our home-works were photocopies

She didn’t show up at school one Monday

 I remember it was in May

I got a note from her neighbor, Ruby

And it vaguely read ‘Goodbye Kobby’

Then I realized why she wept on Friday afternoon

As she told me the story about the moon

Her family had moved to Spain

And we had to bear the pain

Reminiscing the bicycle rides

The silly ice-cream fights

The nights we laid on the grass

Watching the shooting stars

So if you get this message, Gretchen

All I have are two questions

Have you moved on?

Should I move on?
