This series is about First's.

First time you see that person. First crush. First love. First song that got stuck in a loop. First smile at a name. First time you realised, oh shit!


To all those firsts and then beyond, here here.




F1: Second Word


Do you remember, when you first skipped a beat,

Overflowing butterflies and outspoken silence measured heaps


Do you remember the first time she smiled back,

Eagerness to jump around with glee yet the calm hack


Oh don’t we all remember the first hey,

Never knowing the second word to say.


Firsts, there magic of always and forever

Moments built with no measure.


The hours spent for failing at being rehearsed,

To everything we will give for them firsts.

F2: Moments


Hear you talking there,

Wondering if you noticed my glare,


Girl what you up to with this

Smiling looking at him, miss!


What’s on your mind, oh boy!

Do you see this smile or you acting coy!


Just saying hi, filled with joy

Feels like the 7th grade, it’s a crush alright, don’t be afraid!


You up for a talk,

Over a good night walk

Moments, moments we make.


-MK

F3: Ray


Because summer you summer and all them colors.

Season this be of cotton candy and love here be all mushy and sandy


Getting there till our lips meet infinity

Wishful thinking stirred with quirks of our stupidity


Curled up with sand in between our feet,

Oh this tranquility and yet this heart skipped a beat.


Its time for that leap of faith they say,

Honey it’s the season of love, hope and ray!


-MK

F4: Just A Girl


Just a girl around midnight,

Don’t really know what caught my eye,

Here I am speaking my mind

Would you care to keep me in your time?


Just a girl caught up in her head

Trying it all, hoping she is not misread

Smiles, dancing and sounds of rain

What's to lose here, but oh what if it’s a gain!


-MK

F5: Crawling


Is there a perfect way to say this?

To put into words the feeling of this abyss,


Some days, boy, not sure if I should speak up..

Most days though it isn’t easy to just brush away the fuss,


Feel like I'm crawling

It’s a feeling I shouldn’t feel..


Yet I am crawling

Crawling to the home you could mean,

Crawling to a bliss we could together be,

And are you there just watching me,

Or will you have us as we.

Crawling, am just crawling..

-MK

F6: Hey!


Here I am waiting for a moment to say hi,

When will you see me, oh you pretty pretty boy.

Am I so naïve, to be failing from this height,

Oh this is how I finally meet the love of my life.


Thinking maybe its today,

I’ll drop you a text to say hey,

Maybe we will the walk by the beach,

But maybe it’s a story beyond my reach.


Who knows where this will take us,

Keep giving into this empty verse..


Dreaming about us..

Caught myself, thinking about us..

Found myself, wondering about us..

About us..

About us..


-MK
