First Love
Hiroji Miyamoto Lyrics

The lyrics to Hiroji Miyamoto's song "First Love" depict a nostalgic and bittersweet reflection on a past love. The first verse sets the scene of the final kiss, with the lingering taste of tobacco representing a bitter and melancholic flavor. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and wonder about the whereabouts of the person in question, pondering who they might be thinking of now.

The chorus, "You are always gonna be my love, even if someday I fall in love with someone else," expresses the enduring nature of this first love. It acknowledges that while future relationships may come and go, the lessons and love taught by this initial connection will always remain deeply cherished. The lyrics evoke a longing to retain the memories and feelings associated with this love, even as time passes and new songs are sung.

The second verse reflects on the movement of time yet highlights the desire to hold on to precious memories, emphasizing that there are only things the singer does not want to forget. The lyrics indicate that, at the present moment, the singer imagines themselves crying and still thinking of the person in question.

The bridge reiterates the everlasting presence of this love, with the hope that there is a place for the singer in the person's heart as well. It emphasizes a sense of longing and a willingness to wait for that love to be reciprocated, suggesting that even though the current reality may be a sad love song, there is hope for a new song to be sung in the future.
