Ac Benus

First Love Ac Benus

Sometimes when we least expect it, and least feel like we deserve it, a person can show up in our life offering warm, open friendship, and hints of wanting more. How do we react? With fear; with gladness; with longing to find words to express it and perhaps share with the belovèd. Yes to all of these, and also to the pain if we feel hopeless that they can't love us back.... A glowing nineteen-year-old reaches out to a budding poet, and the pieces printed in this book are the result. Each poem has the potential to resonate deeply, no matter who reads them, and bring back memories of their own first love.
