VIRGIN TERRITORY 

Here I go again 
Once more cartwheeling 
My mental treadmill 
In a flurry of fidgets 
And nervous natter 
Wondering 
What’s correct, 
How to make him feel OK? 
Wondering 
Is this right 
And 
Do I feel OK? 
Wondering 
Where he came from 
Unlooked for, 
But not unwelcome. 
Wondering 
What will happen next 
And 
What happens if he — 
Am I prepared to...? 
Well, I mean, 
Should I — 
Should I be thinking this at all? 

In all the excitement, 
The newness 
The exploring 
So fresh and daring 
A virgin territory 
Why not relax 
And let things take their course? 
Why not just enjoy 
The new experiences? 

Yes, but shall I — 
Well, what if he ... 
Suppose we, 
I mean — 
Do you know what I mean?
