MY FIRST LOVE

I'd like to be your final good night.

And a nice morning wish from the sun.

I want to be the first hug you receive 

amid adversity and the last triumph kiss you receive.

I want to be the first to congratulate you on your good deeds 

and the first to chastise you for your shortcomings.

I want to be the first person you call for assistance 

and the final person you say goodbye to.

In the winter, I'd like to have your warm embrace, 

and in the summer, I'd like to be your icecream companion.

I'd like to be the third person who comes to mind

 and with whom you'll spend your seconds twice.

I'd like to be the last number you call at night 

and the first one you hang up with in the morning...
