My First Love

It's two o'clock this morning
And I've got you on my mind
Reminiscing how we met
And crying all the time

Always, when I hear a song
That makes me think of you
I almost drown in silver tears
My heart just breaks in two

I remember our first kiss
The way you loved me so
The times I held you in my arms
The pain when I let go

I loved you when you left me
And I know you loved me too
I stood there crying, broken hearted
What else was I to do?

I left because I love you
I just couldn't stand the pain
I left to ease the heartache
But, at times, it still remains

I'll always remember
For you were my first love
You'll always be within my heart
For reasons, just because

I wish it hadn't ended
So we'd be together now
And, in a way, I'm glad it's over
I've learned to cope with it somehow
