Nervous

I dream of us nightly

Of how we'd first meet

Would you grab me in your arms

Kiss me my first kiss

When I try to push away

Would you hold me on tighter

Looking at your eyes I can see you are

Staring at me

Curiously

Cautiously

Would you question why I'd look away as you grab my hand

Fidgeting from this innocent act

Would you notice me digging my nails into my other hand

You smiled back at me

While my eyes were on the ground

My cheeks flush and you think it was cute

All the while I'm a nervous wreck

Belittling my shaky feelings internally

You kiss my forehead and butterflies appear

And there I stand in front of you

My heart pounding in this quiet bedroom

Your eyes wander over me

I'm frozen

Nervous to move

Would you mind if I turned the lights off

Maybe then I could relax

Maybe then I could relish this moment

Maybe then I could exhibit my reverence for you
