You were the first boy I called mine;
with your school smarts and **** physique.
Our first date I felt so grown up-
as night came and my curfew peaked.
At school with your arm around my neck-
I couldn’t stop smiling from ear to ear.
The kiss we shared told my heart
that it was OK not to fear.
You set up a private house date;
while your parents were out of town.
I was nervous and scared at first,
but then I slowly came around.
The secret night progressed quickly-
no time to fully weigh my thoughts.
Before I knew it, it was done
and my virginity was naught.
It wasn’t as I expected;
only a little pain then over.
I shyly whispered I love you,
but your mind left like a rover.
The next school day I saw you,
but you acted like I was no one.
I stood with a grin of a fool-
I saw I was only for your fun.
I shared a unique part of me-
I felt I did everything right.
But now I know I was too young
to lose my virginity’s light.
So many children are making the decision to lose their light at such a very young age. I soooo wish I held on to my light, so I could have shared that unique, irreplaceable light with the man I married. Just to hear that elementary aged children are partaking in adult activities makes me feel dumbfounded.
