Was I

 

Was I the first to fall for you?
Was I the first to offer love?
Were you the first to make the move?
One I hardly thought I would ever of?

Was I the first to see past you’re hate?
Was I the first to understand?
Were you the first to forbid debate?
While you asked me for my hand?

Was I the first to unlock you’re soul?
Was I the first to claim you’re heart?
Were you the first to lose control?
And let what happened start?

Was I the first to look into your eyes?
Was I the first to meet you’re profound glaze?
Were you the first to realize?
That at the time you’re mind fought back a haze?

Was I the first to be in you’re arms?
Was I the first to take you’re breath away?
Were you the first to shield me for any harm?
That would refuse you to stay?

Was I the first to feel what I did inside?
Was I the first to see it all?
Were you the first to push away you’re pride?
While I was the first to fall.
