Never Get Over the First

The first one to kiss these lips
 The first one I let have me 
        The first one to reassure me 
              Also the first one to hurt me 
                 I'm consistant in my resistance 
                 Maybe that's the problem
                 I won't settle, I can find better 
                 I tell myself that over and over
                   he doesn't even see me anymore
                     I've never stopped seeing him
                       Do we ever really get over the first? 
                           Are we forever cursed to be 
                                    Pining for them?
                                 I wonder? 
                                    This sucks...
