I betrayed love for companionship,
Left you
when you were bounded
and he was giving explicitly more.

I forgone faithfulness for lust,
Abandoned you.
Leaped ahead for butterflies in stomach,
kisses on my clavicles.

I forgot about you for I was lonely,
I craved for you but
You weren't here so I
Conveniently made him a substitute.

But no,
Never is there a substitute for the first love
Never is there a substitute for you.
