First Time Out

I risked it all when I said that word.
   "Yes" was all it took.
From there I was yours to do with as you pleased.
   That was what I wished.
At least that's how it seemed.

I was new.
   I was scared.
You taught me the moves.
   You showed me what to do.

One look in your eyes and I knew I couldn't turn back.
   I had promised, but even then I doubted.

Our lust lasted for that night,
   But our love could endure forever.
I had believed that part could never be.
   You surprised me with your care.

I knew you were what I wanted,
   But was it in that way?
Did I really want the love?
   Or was it just you?
       Was it what I needed?
