Unfair Firsts

If first love's are to last eternally,

Then how would it be fair for you and me?

I loved you first and no one precedes thee,

But I was just next after you loved she.

"I honestly love you," said thou to me;

I was supposed to tell you I do to;

But before I can what did sayeth thee?

You spoke about memories of you two.

What was I to say 'fter you told me that?

"I'm sorry but I don't love you as such."

And after that do you know what I've got?

A sore for my heart that is really much.

Was life not unfair when it made that rule?

I aren’t yours but you were mine – first love.
