First Time Love With L-Plates
Now older wiser and a woman not a child
First Time Love With L-Plates
I loved you first with L plates on
nerves in knots, the engine wrong
I stalled on words, I turned too wide
unsure of where to sit my pride
You laughed, and I mistook the signs
took detours down your fault lines
I braked too late, I veered too fast
but still, you held me through the crash
That was then, and this is now
I’ve learned my route, I know the how
No second guess, no need to swerve
I give you all that you deserve
No half lit roads or halfway tries
no rearview glances, no white lies
I loved you first with heart on trial
but now, I love you with my style
With steady hands and open lane
not driven by the past or pain
No test to take, no need to stall
this time, I love you with my all
I am a woman now,
The 16 year old has grown
and learned to love ❤️

What a comparison of life, growing up and driving. Good job.
This was such a beautiful metaphor — raw, relatable, and full of growth. From nervous turns to steady love… what a journey. I’d love if you had a look at some of my work too!
