I shared something sacred
with someone I hardly know.
I said I would wait
until I was married,
with more love to show.
Although she is very special
and she means a lot to me,
shold she have been the one
with whom I lost my virginity?

My teenage life exists no more,
and I am a man before my time.
I had one more year left to be a child,
but now I fear the outcome
of my lustful ways.
For now I may be a father
for the rest of my days.
