To My First Love

To My First Love

I want to see you live your dreams,
Achieve greatness and be happy,
And I want to be a part of your life when you do,
‘Cause I keep imagining spending my life with you,
Seeing amazing places with you,
Sharing moments where we are both breathless, lost for words.
I want to see you smiling, hear you laugh,
And I want to love you.

I want to be able to share memories with you, good and bad.
I want to be able to hold you when you’re upset
And tell you things are going to be okay,
Because I would try my best to make it okay,
To make it better for you.
And I know you would do the same for me.

I want to see you when I wake up, a smile would flood my face.
I want to talk to you deeply
About things we don’t have answers to.
I want to get to know you every single day,
Because I understand that people change.
You will change, but so will I.

I not only want to share my mind with you but my body too.
I want to kiss you like it’s the first time, every time.
And I want to feel my love for you flowing through my veins like blood,
Warming me up and making my heart beat faster
Every time I see your beautiful face.

You stole my heart years ago, and you can keep it,
Because forever I am yours.
