To the man who gave me my first bouquet I thank you.

To the man that was my first valentine I thank you.

To the man that took me to my first dance I thank you.

To the first man to tell me what I deserve I thank you.

To the man who first taught me what a lie is I thank you.

To the first man to ever hold my heart in his hands I thank you.

To the first man who broke my heart I thank you.

To the first man I ever wanted to impress I thank you.

To the man who first taught me what rejection feels like I thank you.

To the only man that was ever supposed to not hurt me I thank you.

To the man I’ve resented but never stop loving I thank you.

To my father.
