I’ve been dreaming
Sickly sweet and painful visions

First kiss
Recess under the play structure
Knees on pebbles expectantly waiting
Cool spring air gave me goosebumps

First dance
He sat behind me in English class
Soft eyes soft voice
Reached out his hand and held me close

First time
Even though it didn’t last
It was a gentle confirmation
Of all I already knew about him

First romance
Sweaty summer
Between university years
We kissed deep and fast

First heartbreak
Leaving behind fractured pieces
Jagged moments floating further
Putting myself back together

First love
He laughed and said it back so casually
I hid my face behind a menu
Candlelight shining in his eyes

These are things that never happened
These are things that never happened
