The First

You are not the first,
Love of mine.
I've had loves before,
A couple times.
You're not the first
These lips have kissed,
And You're not the first
To make me feel like this.
But of all my loves
And past devotions,
You're the first one
I have hope in.

I've had heartache
And I've known tragedy.
I've had loves that
Fell out of love with me.
I've been hurt and
I've been angry,
And I've felt like no one
Could ever make me
Fall in love again.
But of all my pains and
Past or present doubts,
You're the first I don't
Want to live without.

Yes, I have loved more
And been loved less.
And I'd lost faith
In lasting happiness.
But after all
my heart's been through,
You're the first
It truly belongs to.
No hesitation,
No further doubts,
You are the first love
That really counts.

That's very well written. As always, it's full of palpable emotion. Nice work.
