Each stanza in the poem reflects on the memories that the persona had with Eva Jones, his first love as a child. He emphasises how time has passed by saying 'remember me?/My acne. Your dimples. This suggests that time has passed since then but shows how he still recognises her, and enforces that as a child he did love her. The use of the word 'forever' in the 5th stanza could suggest that he can never forget the memory and that it will stay with him forever.
In the last stanza the persona describes how Eva didn't want to be with the persona because she preferred blond boys. The persona describes Eva talking to him in prose which makes me think of Shakespeares' Romeo and Juliet - with them talking in sonnets to each other, and the other characters talk in prose. This could suggest that she shows no love to the persona.
