Description
You met me at a very awkward time in my life
When I was insecure and stumbled over conversations
Fear had directed my words and I hid away

The first time we exchanged glances
It was during a very hot and humid summer at camp
And I fell in love almost instantly with you.

Freedom had embodied you in my vision
As you told stories of grand adventures that occurred
How could someone be so gentle and so fearless?

Kindly you spoke to me, the mess of a girl I was
No matter how nervous or unintelligent I sounded
To this day I still reel back from my past embarrassment

Then camp ended and we went two separate ways,
And I realized I was in love with you completely
Your mind, body, heart and soul, your entire being.

Fate would not leave my heart strings alone
A month later we ran into each other at the county fair
Through the night we laughed and joked

Around my shivering shoulders you slipped your jacket
You went on thrill rides with me and endured my screams
Then the night ended just like a dream

Your girlfriend is lucky and also a very pretty girl
The picture you show me makes my eyes burn
I hold the tears until I reach home

Meeting you was one of the best things to happen
While I was a shadow revolving invisibly around your sun
You taught me lessons I will never forget

Following you is something I would do all over again
The heartbreak, the love, the want, every part of it
You taught me to enjoy life and to not be afraid

How different would it have been if your first impression
Had been the woman that I am today?
Fearless, bold, outgoing and creative

It had always been there, but you unlocked it
And proudly presented me the key
Even though it still hurts to this very day

So thank you for being my first love
My first heartbreak, my new beginning,
Thank you to the boy I followed
