Song/Poem of the day — For the first time

For The First Time

What comes after love has gone Where do I go and where do I look Nothing can ever be undone or unsaid No taking back the things I’ve done

For the first time I see what I’ve done In the company of others I’m alone In my own company I feel life leave me A trail of too many broken hearts behind me

I walk on the street amongst the crowd There’s no one to look for, no one to follow I see my reflection in the store window, a single soul For the first time I see what I’ve done

I cheated myself of love and life For the first time I know what’s missing For the first time I know what I want A complete heart filled with love

What do I do now and where do I go For the first time I want to find my way home I make my way through the crowd for the first time Never stopping, never tripping, never looking back

For the first time I’m ok alone I’m here with my soul, a new beginning I walk through the crowd and sometimes my feet never touch the ground For the first time I’m ok starting alone
