Forgotten Fire Poem by Missie Milligan

Why does a person, even after 20,30 or 40 years, seek out the vanished love of youth? They say old flames burn the hottest, and people who years later rekindle romances with lost loves often experience the most intense emotional satisfaction of their lives. A first love often occurs during the happiest period of a person's life. The reason people might relate to this poem is because almost everyone, at some point, has experienced this feeling of wanting to get in contact with their first love again.
