First Love
Goapele Lyrics

As summer was ending, you were walking in
You came into my life unexpectedly, just as one phase was ending and another was beginning.

It seemed my life was falling
I was going through a difficult time, but you brought the light and hope back into my life.

But in this season we were friends
We started out as friends, and built our relationship from there.

Six days into spring, is where our story begins
Our love story began in the fresh, new season of spring.

You didn't rush a thing,
You were patient and took your time in getting to know me and developing our relationship.

But you knew you would win
Despite not rushing into things, you had confidence in our love's ability to thrive.

I never thought you'd be the only one
I didn't expect you to be the one I fell in love with, but you took me by surprise.

I dreamt of fairy tales ,that's how we begun
At the start of our relationship, I had dreams of a perfect fairy tale romance.

But I was waiting for some magical moment,
I was waiting for a grand gesture or event that would confirm our love, but it never came.

That would prove to me, forever would be fine,
I was looking for reassurance that our love would last forever.

Meanwhile my first love, was standing first in line
Despite my hopes and dreams, my true first love was there all along - you.

One of the first times I didn't feel alone,
Being in your arms made me feel safe and loved, and eased my loneliness.

Is when I was in your arms
Physical touch and closeness was what solidified our connection early on.

You always made me feel at home
Being with you felt like being at home - comfortable and familiar.

We watched the sunrise,cause the night had slipped away
We spent time together all night long and before we knew it, the morning had arrived.

And from then until now, we've been through some different phases
Over time, our relationship has evolved and gone through different stages.

But you love the winter, love the challenge,
You enjoy tough times and challenges, and this has helped us weather the ups and downs of our relationship.

Always managed to think that we would make it
Even in difficult times, you always stayed optimistic and believed in our love's strength and resilience.

So let me get used to things, cause gradual's my name
I prefer to take things slow and steady, and need time to adjust to new situations and changes.

I don't dive into the cold, I get in slow
I don't rush into things, but instead take my time to properly ease into them.

But every day, I'm making peace with loving you,
Every day, I am working on fully accepting and loving you for who you are.

Peace with being me
I am also learning to accept and love myself as I am.

Any pieces of us
Every aspect of our relationship.

I claim them all today
I fully accept and claim every part of our relationship, including its imperfections and challenges.
