The first time pulling out of the driveway onto a road with yellow lines The only person more scared than you is your dad in the passenger seat You grin The butterflies in your stomach swing-dance "Holy cow," you scream "What happened to my training wheels?" It fills you with joy with freedom with fear It fills you up so you know you'll burst rupture explode like a confetti egg The first time falling in love laughing about it crying about it But your best friend has her arm around your shoulder Neither of you really know know what to say know what to do but you'll stumble your way through It's spring time growing
