First Love

They say that
You can't forget your first love.
Never.
They say that one woman
Will never leave your heart.
Never.
They say that first love
Is the only true love.
Forever.

 

You were the first woman
To hold my hand.
To teach me to walk.
The first woman -
To embrace me in her loving arms.
Unconditional love:
Is what you gave me.
Sacrifices, pain, hunger:
You'd go through anything to 
See that my smile on my face.

9 months.
You cocooned me.
You shaped me up
You transformed me
So that I'll be able to take on
That harsh world.
Sleepless nights, is what I gave you,
When I finally arrived
Still you say to me
How happy you were.

Selfless. Kind. Beautiful.
I dont have words to describe you.
"Mother".
My mother,
My first love:
The best cook in the world:
I dont know how can I ever
Give back what you did
For me.
How can I ever pay back the debt ?
How can I ever return that love ?
Truth is:
I can't.
No one can:
Replicate the love of a mother smile emoticon

Mother's Day or not,
I will always love you.
And all I have:
Is words
To give back to you.
Nothing else
