Dedicated, to the future me.

" It is the first time, he smiles at you.
   It is the first time, he picks you up for a date.
   It is the first time, you feel this way about someone.
   That every little thing he does, warm your heart..
   It is the first time, you truly let your guard down.
   It is the first time, someone made you feel
   like the most important thing in the world..
   It is a good feeling...

   It is the first time that you want to give, more than you take
   Because his happiness is what makes you happiest.

   It is the first time you feel like maybe..
   just maybe,
   you could be together,
   forever...
 
   But time passes..
   and all the firsts..
   give way for seconds,
   and thirds..
   You lose count.

   And you let all the things you once found beautiful,
   become routine.

   and slowly,
   but suddenly,
   it is the first time you realize
   that happiness is not found.
   It is earned.

   It is the first time you realize that the person who can make you the happiest...
   is also the one who can bring you the most pain.
 
   It is the first time, you hold the bold,
   and let someone else pull back the arrow aimed at your chest.

   You trust him not to let go.

    It is the first time you know what it is like,
    when it is over.

    It is the first time you feel completely helpless,
    like you are reaching for something..
    but it just slips through your fingers.

    It is the first time you realize no matter how much you both wanted it,
    it would never have worked out in the end
 
    When love first ends...
     you wonder if you ever knew what it even was,
     if what you had was even real.

     But it is your first love

     ...not your last.
   
      You learnt to laugh..
       to cry..
       to hold on..
       to let go.
     
       And when you love again...

       ... maybe you love better.

       ... and maybe... this time..
     
       longer."
