First Time

Wishing for his eyes to fall on mine,
Knowing it will never be.

Could tell that he could never see,
What went on inside of me.

Oh I never thought it'd be like this,
Fear and insanity mixed in one.

Find a fault I shall try,
Knowing my heart’ll never let me succeed.

Never thought it’d happen to me,
Thought I was strong and immune to this.

Help me God to erase that face,
Whose features I remember above all.

Daily I see him and pass him by,
My act so natural and business-like.

Nightly I lay on top my bed,
Pillow in hand and tears in eyes.

It is a weakness that strikes me home,
Leaves my feelings bleeding sore.

I wish I’d be like before,
Without worry and without care.

Secretly hoping he’d understand,
That he too is suffering same as I.

Yet I am a coward like many before,
I’ll never find the courage to tell.

Time will pass and perhaps him,
Yet what if the memory shall persist?

I hate him for making me feel like a fool,
For making me feel like I need him.

I hate him for those uncertainties,
For wondering what he thought of me.

I hate him for this weakness of mine,
I hate him for I’ve never hated before.
