I Remember

I remember all my firsts
They won’t be forgotten
They certainly won’t be the last
But memories are fickle that way

They can’t be forgotten
The first time I rode a bike without trainers
Memories are quite fickle
My first time walking home in the rain

The first time I had a crush
Experience builds up over the years
My very first date
I grow more and more in wisdom

Each year is different
My very first heartbreak
I gain more knowledge
The first time promises were broken

When my first friend was no longer
I have to keep going
To my very first bill
Perfection is never near

I can never give up
Death won’t be the last
Life is never perfect
I remember them all
