Analysis of Memory of First Love



When first I gazed into her eyes,
My heart just skipped a beat.
When first I listened to her speak,
I heard her sparkling wit,
When first her hand reached out for mine,
I knew this must be it...
Electric was her touch that day,
As lightning from above.
And warmth that poured into my soul,
I recognized as love.
