Dare

I didn't dare touch my buttons,

for fear that she would know.

I didn't dare let my eyes falter,

because she would say "I told you so"

I didn't dare reminder her

that we were too alike,

I didn't dare move away,

or mention the time at the lake.

I didn't dare to shift my weight

to show that I was feeling hot

I didn't dare let her know

I did it, like it or not.

I didn't dare tell her my secret,

because she would walk away,

I didn't dare share with her

she would say, "he'll leave anyway."

I didn't dare crack a smile

or let her know I was pleased

I didn't dare tell her details

about the panties that he seized.

I didn't dare change my tone,

or the way that I behaved,

I didn't dare explain to her

the moment that we saved.

I didn't dare let my mind wander

to the time just before,

I didn't dare tell her

I was a virgin no more.
