You were the first
without knowing,
burst my balloon
with simple harpoon

And opened my eyes.                          
To a world in disguise.                          
I soon realize the lies told.                    
and began to swoon for thou.             

I let you graffiti my brain
the pretty words like concrete
permanent imprint, dominant in nature
The ornamentation of my determined mind.

Black and Blue,                                      
my undoing                                          
my favourite viewing                            
to which I was glue to                            
            
It was a slow grow
didn't know any better
until the letter came
your name centered in the
middle

Like a benign vine,                              
dining with a glass of wine.                
Sent icy shivers down my spine.          
entwined with flames,                          
sent from cloud nine.                           
                
But that was then.                                
and this is now

I have since moved on.                        
I no longer fawn.                                  

But I can not forget thee.
when you still fill me with glee

So I thank you,                                    
for my change is thy's work.              

For being the first.
and I will never forget you.
