[Verse 1] There was a time I swore that love was just a brief, electric spark A sudden fire destined to go cold inside the dark I thought it lived in heavy sighs, in feelings quick to drift and fade A fleeting thrill that disappears as fast as it was made Until you walked into my life and turned the dark to day You pulled me from the shadows and you showed a better way Now every piece of who I was is gently rearranged My heart finally found a quiet place where everything has changed [Pre-Chorus] Standing right beside you, I have finally found my ground A foundation built on honesty, resilient and sound No fragile fairytale illusions destined to fracture or break No delicate, hollow promises that bend until they shake It wasn't just a sudden rush or some intoxicating phase It was a deliberate, conscious choice to stand through all our days To hold your hand when thunder rolls and quiet turns to storm To make a vow within my heart to always keep you warm [Chorus] You were my first true love, the one who taught me how to stay My steady anchor in the night when world winds pull away You were my first true love, a gentle and unwavering light Guiding every uncertain step through the shadows of the night (My very first true love, the sanctuary I always sought) The one who pulled me close when the cold grew loud and harsh When the world became too heavy and the winter set in deep You were the only one I chose, the promise I will keep [Verse 2] They say that love is blind, but true love looks with open eyes It sees the jagged edges, every flaw beneath disguise It doesn't turn away in fear when shadows start to grow It holds you closer through the storm and lets the worries go It is a total, full acceptance where past mistakes lose their sting The quiet, unshakeable peace that only a soulmate bond can bring Looking deep into your eyes, I find a calm and holy space A vast and safe expanse where I am held in full embrace No masks to wear, no guarded walls, no fear of subtle judgment now No walking on thin glass, no worrying when or how Just the profound relief of breath, of feeling safe and understood As silent moments drift on by, knowing that this love is good [Pre-Chorus] Infatuation only feeds on a picture-perfect face A temporary fantasy that time will soon erase But real love roots itself in every action that we take In small, devoted gestures and the selfless choices made In listening with an open heart to every unspoken word Ensuring every quiet tear and hidden dream is heard Placing you right beside me as an equal, hand in hand Building a life together on this strong, unchanging land [Chorus] You were my first true love, the one who taught me how to stay My steady anchor in the night when world winds pull away You were my first true love, a gentle and unwavering light Guiding every uncertain step through the shadows of the night (My very first true love, the sanctuary I always sought) The one who pulled me close when the cold grew loud and harsh When the world became too heavy and the winter set in deep You were the only one I chose, the promise I will keep [Bridge] Not a passing phase of passion, not a temporary flame Not a quick and burning whisper that forgets its own name It’s a selfless, constant truth that shines through every darkest hour A quiet, steady force with an undeniable power You became my standard, my compass, and my guide The sacred vow I keep forever standing by your side The kind of rare, enduring grace that time itself respects A devotion that protects us, and forever interconnects [Final Chorus] You were my first true love, the one who taught me how to stay My steady anchor in the night when world winds pull away You were my first true love, a gentle and unwavering light Guiding every uncertain step through the shadows of the night (My very first true love, the sanctuary I always sought) The one who pulled me close through every falling, heavy doubt When the world became too cold and the lights were going out Through every rising tide and every trial we survived You were the only one I chose, the reason I arrived [Outro] My constant home, my sanctuary, quiet, deep, and true A sacred kind of love that always knows me through and through Forever anchored in your grace, forever safe inside your arms sheltered from the bitter cold and safe from all alarms The journey of a lifetime that has only just begun My first true love, my last true love, my only one.
