First and Only
First and Only
by Carlyn Parent
My heart tingles around the boy
in our middle school hallway,
inducing my body to a pleasant numbness.
My words stutter
the first time we innocently speak.
Time stops
when his soft, thin lips passionately meet mine.
Surely this is just puppy love…
My heart tingles around the young man
in our high school hallway,
inducing my body to a pleasant numbness.
My lips waver
when he smiles my direction.
My legs weaken
when our blue eyes connect.
He is my first love.
