It starts with only one...
The first heartbeat
The first kick
The first photo
The first time you hear
The first time you think
You think you are content
safe, and warm
The first breath
The first screams
The first time you see
The first feeling
The first embrace
The first bath
The first outfit
The first smile
You think this light is harsh
I want to go back
The first taste
The first sleep
The first blanket
The first bed
The first room
You think you are safe
again in the darkness
The first laugh
The first tears
The first pain
The first worry
The first fear
The first accident
The first appraisal
You think this darkness
isn't the same it's wilder
The first finding if little feet
The first stance
The first fall
The first word
The first steps
The first hair cut
The first memory
You think the light is good
but you miss that darkness
The first day
The first desk
The first teacher
The first class
The first lunchroom
The first music lesson
The first friends
You think to yourself the
dark is evil nothing
happens in the dark
The first love
The first kiss
The first date
The first time
The first fight
The first heartbreak
You think you stay in the
light nothing bad happens
in the light
The first concert
The first audition
The first show
The first applause
The first adrenaline rush
The first funeral
You think you were wrong
the bad does happen in the
light?
The first dread
The first depression
The first missing
assignment
The first failed test
The first skip day
The first missed meal
The first cut in your flesh
The first pill taken
You think it all happens in
the light the darkness is
safe again
The first concerned face
The first tears in public
The first treatment center
The first night away from home
The first face you see when
you get out
You think he is the light,
and maybe a little is okay
The first expensive dress
The first walk down the
aisle
The first time cake was
smashed in your face
The first night together
The first positive
The first job
The first house
The first child
You think that neither dark
nor light is safe and you
need a happy medium
The first heartbeat
The first kick
The first photo
The first steps
The first words
You think I will be your
guide through the dark and
your helper in the light
