first time

For the first time in forever

or so it feels when im alone

I wake up with a smile

and dont feel so far from home

For the first time in my life

or so it feels when I see you

Ive learned to love someone 

and at the same, myself too

You always seem to tell me

that I dont see myself

but what you see and what I see

have finally compelled

For the first time I believe him

the only he that has earned my trust

for his heart yearns only for me

not a simple lust

I now think past tomorrow

for my future's not so dull

and it is he who has lit the way

and broken down this wall

Ive been looking in mirrors

fix my hair and fix my face

but looking in these eyes of mine

its but a subtle trace

I have never been so enveloped

by the warmth of someone's breath

for I never had a rhythm

until combined, our hearts' beat

For the first time in a long time

I think I know who I am

and who I want to be

and remain everything to him

Someone who doesn't want to change me

and accepts me for all my faults

for he sees not all my errors

for his soft hands hold no hault

For once I dont feel so broken

and like Im someone else's mess

I feel like I am ready

to make the place I lie, our bed

And I promise I will love you

and I will try not to let you fall

but know that I'll be there to catch you

if your world is falling apart

You wont end a single day

without a kiss good night

no matter the words we may exchange

or an unrelenting fight

You will always know I love you

and that I will be forever yours

As long as you hold my heart

and continue to show it's what you adore

Very beautiful and deep poem. My favourite stanza: "For the first time in my life or so it feels when I see you, I've learnt to love someone and at the same, myself too."--Nicely written. Good work!
