At First
by Vicki
At first I didn't see you, I just walked on by
You made the first effort to sit by me and say hi
At first I tried to ignore you, I didn't care what you had to say
But then I started to look forward to each and every day
At first it was so innocent, nothing more than a study date
Although the entire time, you caused my heart to pulsate
At first it was just one phone call, and then many more
And soon I began to feel a way that I hadn't felt before
At first I couldn't believe it, surely it couldn't be true
Somehow in that short time, I had fallen in love with you.
At first I was so happy and thought you felt the same
I guess I assumed too much and for that I am to blame
At first I tried to pretend that the pain was not real
All I needed was time, for my broken heart to heal
At first I kept hoping that you would change your mind
I couldn't keep waiting, because your love I'd never find
At first it was so wonderful, but a dream that couldn't last
The memories of you will be forever; a faded part of my past.
