First Girl To Love Me

Diary entries

I didn't write them

Too scared to put you on paper

I always pictured

Love with limits

Till you came and built a skyscraper

Kissing in my bedroom felt so safe

Never needed anyone that way

It was the first time I was up high

A brand new fear of heights

You met me on the ground

And held my hand the whole way down

Saw me before I did

And walked me through the worst of it

You could've shut the door

Could've cut me off

Nobody else would've stayed that long

And that's why I feel lucky

You were the first girl to love me

In crowded basements

I kept my distance

But danced with you up in the hallways

When I went back home

I couldn't call you

And you handled all of it gently

I built a fortress of red tape

You didn't pressure me to change

You let me take time, stayed by my side

Never felt that kind of grace

You met me on the ground

And held my hand the whole way down

Saw me before I did

And walked me through the worst of it

You could've shut the door

Could've cut me off

Nobody else would've stayed that long

And that's why I feel lucky

You were the first girl to love me

You were the girl who gave me hope

For who I could be down the road

I knew we weren't meant for life

But you loved me at the perfect time

And look at us now, seven years later

We both found who we were made for

I'm asking her to marry me

You're asking her to marry you

It's kinda poetic

You met me on the ground

Held my hand the whole way down

Saw me before I did

And walked me through the worst of it

You could've shut the door

Could've cut me off

Nobody else would've stayed that long

That's why I feel lucky

You were the first girl to love me

That's why I feel lucky

You were the first girl to love me
