You say I love you
The first time
you said
I love you
it took
me awhile to
respond to you
because it meant
to me
I want life
filled by you
desired by you
kids to share
so when I said
I love you
to the first
person outside
of my family
it was to you
for you alone
only have I had
this thought
no one else
has had me
hesitate in reply
cause you are
my first true love
and the only one
worth the thought
