Firsts

Stranger what you think of me.

Is only based on what you see.

There’s so much more than what you think.

That disappeared with just a blink.

You know

I hid myself from everyone.

When my life became undone

Only to emerge again

Into a world filled with distain

But hey,

I’m not going back now.

No

I’ll walk different paths now

So

I learn more along the way

Stranger what you think of me

Limits your capacity

You put me in a tiny box

Tied with a faulty paradox.

You never looked into those eyes.

That almost made you compromise.

To see the soul that lied within

The hopeful heart that’s still sanguine.

But hey, mistakes can be made.

And yeah,

when prides been displayed,

You

Might just miss what could have been.

So

Stranger if you think of me

I hope it’s a kind memory

One that makes you reminince

Of the taste of our first kiss.
