First Man of my dreams



Dear First Man of my dreams,

Many come as many goes.
some willing to stay
others willing to go,
but before them was him.
The First Man
not of my dreams
but what I wished my dreams could chase
The First Man that shaped my heart,
was the very first to break it.
Why stay if you leave.
Guess life was not fair
to take away
The first man of my dreams,

To papa.
