You proposed on one knee in the bright sunlight
I said ‘Yes’ and you pulled me in tight
You twirled me in a circle while I laughed
You gave me the smile I love
You caressed my cheek
The way you do that makes my knees go weak

At that moment when I stood in your arms
And looked up at your face filled with your many charms
I saw a different face in it’s place
A face I haven’t seen in years
Or thought of because it brings to my eyes many tears
Why at that moment did I see his face,
The face of my first love
The one that gave to me the finally shove,
The shove of good-bye,
The shove of one last cry!

Why does he still linger in my thoughts
Do I still love him?
Is that why at this moment I wish he was standing on one knee,
Asking in the voice I remember so well, ‘Will you marry me?’
And giving me the smile I fell in love with those many years ago
The one that made my heart cease to grow

This can’t be happening!
I’m so confused inside at the thought of him
He makes my knees go weak and my breath unsteady
Was he just never ready?
Is that why he did what he did,
Why he was the one to give me the farewell bid?

It’s been many years since then,
Why oh why did it ever end?
My thoughts focus back to the here and now
Where there’s a new man in his place,
A new face
A new smile
A new heartbeat
Different, yet the same
I love him and his very name
I still must love my first deep down,
There must always be a place in my heart that will always frown

A new man whom I love
Who I now stand in front of
I look into his eyes, golden and bright
He let’s go of me and says ‘Baby is everything alright?’
I give a slight grin
And say, ‘Baby I’m ready for my life with you to begin.’
