Prom Dance

Underneath the shimmering lights, it all felt so right

Memories of that night, still shining bright

First love, like a spark in the dark

The way her red hair caught the glow, left a mark

Dancing at prom, hearts beating in time

Even though I came with someone else, her song was mine

I never had that first kiss, but I knew

There was something 'bout her that I couldn’t lose

Glistening like stars, so divine

First love, forever etched in my mind

Oh, she was the one, my first love's flame

In that ballroom, I called her my name

Gazing into her eyes, I felt the world anew

Even in the shadows, her beauty shined through

Decorating Christmas trees when she was alone

Thinking I could steal her, make her my own

Her smile, a secret I couldn't tell

First love, a story I’d always dwell

Never shared that first kiss, yet it felt so true

Her presence in my heart, like a rendezvous

Red hair glowing, so divine

First love, forever etched in my mind

Oh, she was the one, my first love's flame

In that ballroom, I called her my name

Gazing into her eyes, I felt the world anew

Even in the shadows, her beauty shined through

Maybe it was just a moment in time

But for me, it’s engraved in the rhyme

Of every song, in every dream

She was my first love, my fleeting gleam

Now even as time moves on, I see

Her memory is still alive in me

Glistening like her red hair in the night

My first love, my everlasting light
