I fell in love the first time I saw you,
out on that field, throwing the football.
I dreamed of the day I could call you mine,
but back then it just wasn’t our time.
We grew into best friends, side by side,
talked for hours on the phone each night.
Fridays came and my heart would race,
just knowing the weekend meant seeing your face.
But when you were ready, I pushed you away,
my heart was still broken, too scared to stay.
Haunted by the hurt, I didn’t know what to do…
but somehow through it all, I still ran to you.
You stayed steady, you stayed true,
waited on a love I was afraid to give you.
Now the years have passed, and look where we are—
a beautiful family, my safe place, my star.
You’re not only my first love,
you’re my forever too.
Time made us stronger, we learned how to fight,
through all of the wrongs, we built something right.
Every scar that I carried, you helped me forgive,
you showed me what it means to really live.
I tried to push you out, but you never let go,
you loved me through the healing,
and helped my heart grow.
You stayed steady, you stayed true,
waited on a love I was afraid to give you.
Now the years have passed, and look where we are—
a beautiful family, my safe place, my star.
You’re not only my first love,
you’re my forever too.
From schoolyard dreams to wedding rings,
to babies’ laughter and all life brings…
If I could go back, I’d tell that girl,
don’t be afraid—this love will change your world.
You stayed steady, you stayed true,
waited on a love I was afraid to give you.
Now the years have passed, and look where we are—
a beautiful family, my safe place, my star.
You’re not only my first love…
you’re my forever too.
My first love, my last love…
my forever is you.
