Poem: "You Think That You're the First One?"

You think that you’re the first one?
I can tell you that you’re not.
It may feel like you’re the first one
Because that’s all you’ve got. 

Think of her that night when she
Told you she got three.
Think of her there on the phone
Left broken and alone

When she told you hers was good
What thoughts went through your head?
That this girl had lost her mind and might
Be better off dead. 

But still it worked real well, it did
So you’re not the only one
Though you think you might be special
Though you think you’re number one

Though you think your thoughts and feelings
Are on the mountaintop
It’s just a game that people play 
And will never stop.
