Life unfolds in chapters, some etched, some a blur,
But one memory lingers, vibrant, pure
It was a time of innocence, a heart untamed,
When love’s first flash ignited, a whispered name

Across a crowded room, our eyes did meet,
A stolen glance, a fluttering beat
A nervous smile, a blush that crept,
A silent language, emotions kept

Love’s first flash, a mystery untold,
A feeling nascent, precious to hold
The world around faded, a distant hum,
Only you remained, overcoming the numb

Conversations hesitant, words shyly spoken,
A shared laugh, a trust awoken
Fumbling touches, a hand held tight,
A universe discovered in the fading light

Love’s first flash, a kaleidoscope bright,
Filling the world with a newfound light
Butterflies danced, a nervous delight,
A future unseen, yet oh so right

Days turned to weeks, a bond that grew,
Whispered promises, dreams coming true
Innocence painted the world in gold,
A future unwritten, a story untold

Love’s first flash, a warmth that embraced,
Two souls entwined, a love to be chased
Forever seemed a promise, a whispered vow,
In that innocent world, we knew nothing of how

Years have flown by, seasons have changed,
Lessons learned, the path rearranged
Love’s first flash, a memory cherished still,
A foundation built, on that youthful thrill

Love’s first flash, a guiding light,
Through joy and sorrow, holding on tight
It taught us the power of a heart’s desire,
The beauty of innocence, a love set on fire

Though wrinkles have etched, and hair turned to gray,
The embers of that first love still find a way
For in its essence, a truth remains,
Love’s first flash, a fire that sustains

Love’s first flash, a guiding star,
Leading us onward, no matter how far
Love’s first flash, a beacon so bright,
Warming our hearts through the darkest night

Love’s first flash, a whisper so sweet,
A melody played, forever complete
Love’s first flash, a promise we hold,
A love story written, forever untold
