Now don't be mad of the admiration

please don't be sad for the lost one.

We all have one in our lives that we've lost.

We all have one in our lives that has gone.

This being true we may lose sight of it

but love is not something to be lost.

It is something to hold dear

and something to be cherished.

It is something that is never gone

and never fades from the heart.

We hold on to the rails and

continue with our lives.

Although I have loved and lost

my heart still beats for the one.

The only one that showed me

the only one that I love.

For that person I say,

I love you as much as any man can and

I love you for who you are and what you taught.

For the lessons that you provided were hard, painful but kind

and the learning was slow but fulfilling and the heart cries.

For you my dear the first true love

I say only this, I do love you,
