Always Be

Always Be

I left you.  I finally did it.
You asked me back.  I said no.
I was firm and determined.
I said no.
We had a moment.
I slipped up.  But I did not fall.
I stood up tall.  I moved on.
I walked down the aisle.
To another man.
I said I do.  And I did.
I wear his ring proudly.
I sleep with him, eat with him; breathe him.
He is my man.
You are not.  Because I said no.
Firmly.
But you will always be my first.
