First Time

First time I saw you
First time I looked in your eyes
I saw what was missing
I knew that you were in my dreams

First time I kissed you
I understood the flame
Kissed by desire
Consumed by the fire

First time I held you
First time I told you
Touched by the flame
Unscathed by this pain

Opening my eyes
Opening my heart
Opening my soul
Opening my mind
Opening understanding
Opening all I am

Consumed in my own life
Consumed by this life
Consumed by desire
Life isn’t worth living
Without the flame, without the fire
