I gently took you by the hand <br />As we walked toward the bed <br />I could feel your grip getting tighter <br />I could see hesitation in every step <br />There was a sense of fear <br />Because of the unknown <br />She had never made love before <br />But then, neither had I <br />My heart was beating rapidly <br />My hands began to sweat <br />We lay down on the bed <br />I took her in my arms <br />Slowly our lips met <br />Knowing that very soon <br />For the both of us <br />Our innocence would soon be gone <br /> <br /> <br />9-27-07/RJH<br /><br />Ray Hansell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/making-love-the-first-time/
