My Very First Time

I am now remembering
The very first time for me
Was it like this for you?
I bet it was you see …

We are not so different
From each other as we think
We all do good and bad things
Others do things that stink …

It’s the first time ever
I am trembling with delight
There is a fear in me
Will everything be alright?...

Will I really regret this?
Will it be the best ever?
Will I ever forget it? 
I think the answer’s never…

But we all have a first time
And this is how mine went
Shame excitement and blushes
And there were some things got bent…

It will never be the same
As that very first time
Legs in the air
Some think it was a crime…

But the rush and the excitement
Lives with me still
As I fell off my bike
And rolled down that hill …
