ACHES [Wattys Winner 2015]

Childhood crush

When you had touched my cheek,

You had touched my soul.

You adored me,

But you became a crush never declared.

I promised myself then,

I will love you with every breath,

And I told myself,

I could never love any other girl.

The softness of your smile

The twinkle in your eyes,

I had remembered for long,

When I used to find you in every song.

I had followed you, 

I had given you roses,

And you had touched my cheek,

Patted me or kissed on my forehead.

You saw me like a young cute child I think,

After all I was ten years younger and just a child

But you were my first crush,

And even when nothing was to happen,

You changed me,

You taught me how to love.
