first time

the day i finally met you
was a day of many firsts
first look into your eye
smiling that big bright smile
the first shove the first touch
a first embrace of long lost friend
frozen in memory hoping it will never end
the first silence the first glance
fearing of suddenly waking up
from this dream i dreamed a thousand times
my first conversation right beside you
the first giggle as we reminisce
of a fantasy now becoming a sweet reality
the first jog, the first walk
all are first and how we talk
about our life that passed through the years yearning
the wondering, the searching and finally discovering
of our deep rooted connection only soulmates could understand
the first dance of a secret romance
moving through a rhythm of a love sublime
our first portrait together taken by chance
pausing the moment but is it a crime?
to love a forbidden love
I had fate to thank for all the first
the chance of finally meeting you is more i can ask
but pardon my heart if it yields not of the thirst
as i hold you closely even more with a mask
for now we wear the shackles of obligation
fearing of society's condemnation
but i whisper a promise to fate even if it hurts
that my love will endure after all of these many firsts.
