First Timer

There is always a first time for everything, they say.
New and Fresh challenges come around everyday.
The strength to overcome them is the prayer we pray,
As well as the grace to do things right and not go astray.


A first time always comes with a big price to pay,
You might not be able to easily find your way.
It takes so many preparations, efforts and less play,
It's like having your beautiful blue sky turn grey.


A first time is a test that takes you out of your comfort zone,
Leaving behind everything you are used to and always known.
Placing new hurdles before you to strengthen your bone.
Its also a time another part of you is revealed and shown.


I'm trying to imagine what my first shot at love will be like,
Will it be as difficult as my first experience ridding a bike?
Will my nerves just as usual get the better of me?
Or will my confidence shine through for her to see?


Will my inexperience be the cause of a downfall?
Or will my genuine heart and passion stand tall?
How many blunders will I end up committing?
And how many details will I end up omitting?


After all, I believe loving shouldn't be a crime,
And even if I blow my chance and fail the first time,
I would still have gained experience for the next time,
By then I will be at my best, ready for the prime time.


Although first time always has its negative effect,
I believe true love makes imperfection, perfect.
Yes, I know and agree that I'm very shy,
But I won't be too scared or too shy to try.
