Not Just "Puppy Love"

You gave me my first dozen roses,
as well as my first real kiss.
You gave me so much hope,
and sent me through a bliss.

Everyone called it "puppy love"
but I always knew it was true.
I couldn't believe I could love like this.
That I'd found someone like you.

I lost you for a while,
and I missed you so very much.
And although we're not together now,
I'll love you just as such.

Everyone was wrong about you and I.
Our love is still as strong as ever.
It couldn't have been just "puppy love",
cause our love will last forever.
