I Wish You Had Been The First Poem by Ray Hansell

You are not the only one
Who’s ever held my hand
You are not the only one
Who’s ever kissed this man
You are not the only one
Who’s ever made love to me
You are not the only one
Who’s ever helped me to see
You are not the only one
Who has said, I love you
You are not the only one
Who’s made my wishes come true
No, you are not the only one
But how I wish you had been the first
Because if you had been the first
I know you would have surely been the last
