My Love

You saw a guy today
That looked
Vaguely familiar
Who folks say
Was my first love

That, honey, is not true

You were my first love
Yes, you
Never have I felt
So sure
So beautiful
And so in love
As I am with you
Now

He was my sweetheart
Once
Long ago now it seems
It was a happy
And sad, and over-bearing time
A small chapter of my life
That I look back on
Sometimes with a smile
Other times with a tear

But let me
Let you know
That
My whole life
I never loved anything else
Other than you
And although
Sometimes
It breaks my heart
That we are apart in so many ways
You make me smile
Because you let me know
That we are together in so many others

You asked me
Then
In the silence there
In the expression on your face
In the corner of your eyes
"You still my girl?"
The answer I whisper back
With all my heart is
"Always"
