THE FIRST TIME.
<p><span style="background-color: transparent;">I didn't know it at the time.</span></p><p>I thought love lived inside the rhyme</p><p>of poems read, of songs that swore</p><p>it came like thunder, not like more.</p><p><br/></p><p>But you sat quiet in the room,</p><p>your back against the afternoon.</p><p>You didn't speak. You didn't try</p><p>to prove you loved me with a lie.</p><p><br/></p><p>You simply stayed. You poured the tea.</p><p>You let the silence sit with me.</p><p>And when I spoke half-raw, half-true </p><p>you didn't fix it. You just knew.</p><p><br/></p><p>That was it. No crash. No flame.</p><p>No one to blame, no one to name.</p><p>Just someone in a faded chair</p><p>who looked at me like I was there.</p><p><br/></p><p>The first time love felt like a home.</p><p>Not something earned.</p><p>Just something known.</p>
