And Then There Was You

I was going to wait
Because that’s what I was taught.
But then you came along.
You made me feel safe
And special.
You made me want to do things
I’ve never done before.
I wanted you to know that
I trust you completely.
I wanted to give you
My everything.

You seemed excited
When I finally told you
I would do it.
I was terrified
But willing to make this sacrifice
For you.
October 8, 2016.
That’s the night.
It didn’t hurt as bad
As they said it would.
It felt wonderful.
It was pleasurable,
It was magnificent.
It made me blossom
Into a new me,
An experienced me.
And I didn’t even mind
That I had just committed
One of the most awful sins
With you.

This is a poem of love, real love, but then you end by saying you committed a sin... Why a sin? It is a beautiful poem, about a beautiful moment. Welcome to PoetrySoup :)
