Hello, First Love,

its been a while

since I've seen your face

since we agreed we needed space

..

So, First Love,

how's it been

for you?

Have you coped just fine

without me by your side?

..

Was it just me, First Love,

who couldn't sleep

after fifteen years of everything

with nothing?

..

Did you cry, First Love,

because I sure did

without you there

to hold my hand

and tell me things will be okay

..

I did try, First Love,

but it was just too hard

you've been a part of my life

for far too long

to let you go

this easily

..

So why, First Love,

are you?

Do I not mean the same to you

as you do to me?

..

Maybe, First Love,

that's why you found comfort

in another woman's arms

for no other reason

that that she

wasn't me

..

But after everything, First Love,

don't you love me anymore?

We lost it all

and I

don't want to lose you too

..

So will you stay, First Love?

I don't think I could live

if you don't

But maybe this is just us

Maybe we were never meant to be

..

Maybe, First Love,

we were just forced together

and neither could let go

and maybe now

we know the

truth

..

After all, First Love,

it has been fifteen years

Maybe it's fifteen years too long

..

But, First Love,

the clue's in the name

I don't want to let you go

because I don't want to have

start again

and my life has already been

destroyed

..

So what's it going to be, First Love,

will you stay or will you go?

Will you go back to

the her-who's-not-me?

..

Please stay.

First Love,
