My second first love
won't be so rough,
well it might be
but it won't be so bitter.

My second first love
won't be so hard,
well it could be,
it is love after all,
but it won't be the same as before
where we fought about who hated themselves more

My second first love
won't be so hurtful
because it will be true
it will be kind, patient,
understanding and soft

My second first love won't be so hard to lose,
because it won't be with someone who leaves as they choose.

My second first love will be with myself.
before I ever offer my heart to someone else who could break it,
I want to make it hard, make sure it's reachable but not breakable.

My second first love won't be scary,
It won't be jealous or insecure.
I want to make sure I love myself harder than anything else,
so my third first love feels like nothing else has felt.
