I’ve been in love before
when I was eight
I met a boy on holiday
we’ve been friends for years
I’m still not quite over him

when I was eleven
I saw him at school
we both loved learning
I never see him anymore

when I was 17
I fell for someone younger
we keep in touch
but nothing will ever happen

now as an adult
I have loved more than I know
some are friends
some forgotten
some don’t even remember my name

I’ve been in love before
but...
