At first I thought it was
A held hand and a little kiss
But those early teenage years
Hadn't prepared me for this
Then the feelings started
All wonderful and new
The problems I knew nothing of
Were well and truly due
I felt it first soon after
Pure and sweet and magic
But I was still learning about life
The decisions I made were tragic
Finally I made it happen
Walking happily down the altar
Only to discover in time
Not me, but she did faulter
The years that followed after
Saw me chasing dreams
And no matter how hard I gave
Was to no avail it seems
Although it seems so fruitless
I need to rise above
That fear of pain and loneliness
And find that one true love
