Puppy Love

Puppy Love

I met her in my fifteenth year

And threw caution out the door

I had no doubts, I had no fear

I hoped there would be love and more

Her hair was blond, her eyes were blue

Her smile was sunny bright

I hoped that she would love me too

I felt unsure but thought she might

I spent my summer days with her

Playing on the ocean shore

And there I felt my feelings stir

My heart and soul expecting more

I was enchanted by romance

There was nothing I couldn’t do

Lost in youthful first love dance

I thought my feelings must be true

Those summer days came to an end

And we went our separate ways

But my longing for her never ceased

Her memory burned through all my days

And then one day along my way

With another boy she came

There was nothing much that I could say

So I wished her well and hid my shame

It was my first romantic show

Puppy-love filled up my heart

I had to love and let her go

It was my role, I played my part
