firsts

You were not my first kiss,

and I wasn't yours.

You are not my first boyfriend,

and I am not your first girlfriend.

You are, however,

the first person I've trusted as much as I trust my

sister.  You are the first boy who has ever called me

beautiful. You are the first boy who has told me that he

loves me. And, though you are not the first boy I've

held hands with, or

kissed, or

cared for, you are the first who I have had the

courage to

love.
