The First Time

If it's the first time,
Whatever it is,

It'll be like the first time
You ride your bike

without the training wheels

Or the first time
You spend the night

Away from home

Or the first time
You go away to camp

For an (entire) week

Or the first time you stand
Up in front of class

and give a speech you wrote

Or the first time
You go out with someone

On a real date

Or the first time
you kiss someone

Who's not related

Or the first time
You decide to do something

Even though you know its wrong

Or the first time you 

move away from home

And suddenly you're on your own

Or the first time

You realize that this is life

for the rest of forever

If it's the first time
you do something, anything

it will be like all the rest

of the first times

Because if it's the first time

it doesnt matter if you are 5,

or 25,

It's always a little scary.

Always a little exciting

And always unmistakably,

The first time.
