What If... Poem by Angelica Duardo

This is the first time
And I’m scared to try
What if I do, think or say
Something I will always regret?

My heart is still pounding
I can hardly breathe
I’m weak, I’m shaking
I cannot believe

So this is how it feels
To be held at night
And kisses in the neck
Have never been so right

I’m weak, I’m shaking
I can hardly breathe
My heart is still pounding
I cannot believe

This is something new
It is real and strange
Happened without thoughts
And finished rather odd

This is the first time
And I’m glad I tried, but
What if I did, thought or said
Something I will always regret?
