My first love was
Eyes seeing me when
The rest of the world
Didn’t notice me
Standing in the shadows
🥀
My first love was
Genuine laughter and
Pointless conversations
That meant everything to me
🥀
My first love was
Greetings in hallways and
Waves across crowded rooms
🥀
My first love was
Mumbled words
And shy smiles
Lit up faces and
Constant daydreams
🥀
My first love was
My first heartbreak
Sleepless nights
Blurry eyes
Shaky smiles
And eyes looking
At the ground
🥀
My first heartbreak
Was sad songs
And blankets at midday
It was insecurities
And emptied hope
🥀
It was shattering hearts
And poisonous thoughts
Lightless stars
Oceans of tears
And love letters
Stuffed into dusty drawers
🥀
My first love
Was the person
I thought you were
And my first heartbreak
Was the person you
Turned out to be
🥀
You were a daydream
That was never real
A home that burnt down
A memory that never mattered
And a butterfly flying
Just out of reach
🥀
You are the scars
On my heart and
The hesitation in my words
When someone asks me about love
🥀
You are my demons
And my fears and
The silences that
Suffocate me
🥀
My first love and heartbreak
Were my darkest days
And the overwhelming idea
That I was not enough
