I may have experienced some firsts
those of whom are not you,
but do not be confused by your worth,
for the lifetime firsts that we'll live
are the ones I have been waiting.

While we were growing up different,
things were evolving for today
so as we found love, everything
before had finally found a why,
a future overshadowing a past.

I hear doubt in your words, thinking
I will be just another sad ending
but all I can promise you
is everything that I have wanted,
and I hope that is enough for us.
