“The First Whisper in Your Morning”

I don’t want to be your friend.
My love for you is too vast,
too deep for mere friendship.

I don’t want to be your second choice
when I can be your first,
your only,
your everything.

I don’t want to simply walk beside you;
I want to journey with you:
hand in hand,
heart with heart,
step for step.

I refuse to be your second thought.
I want to be the first whisper in your morning,
the soft echo in your mind
before you drift to sleep.

I don’t want to be your second chance.
I am your first chance,
the only one destined to hold your heart
and to walk with you into the future
we were meant to share.
