To My First Love. Poem by Leonardo Chara

When my eyes opened it was you i saw,
and i felt love uncut and raw.
You were so fine that i couldn't ignore,
and everyday i loved more.
Even after fate threw us apart,
you still remained in my heart.
Perhaps it's now hard for you to believe,
but such love did my heart once conceive;
and for you and only you it was,
PURE-without a cause.
Alas! How cruel the works of fate,
that such love it had to frustrate.
Now all that is left is misery,
cos i'm still in love with your memory.
