Keep your hands laced
together
To assure that they are still
They betray
Your anxious longings
With their rubbing
and tapping
Keep your tone light
nonchalant and easy
to assure that you dont croon
giving it all away
with a too flirtatious laugh
Calm
Deepen your breath
Keep your eyes open
steady on his
Too many blinks...ahhh no....
No...dont hide
Steady.....
Thats it....
Now I'm in control
And then
Then the slow
So painfully slow...
creeping smile
Alights his face
That knowing smile
There goes my crooked grin
together

i haven't ever seen these feelings described in such a charming way! that's adorable and i felt it all over again.
i'd personally change "anxious longings" to "longing", and the "assure that"s to just "to assure" but that's about it. i want this on my reading list. [:

"Keep your hands laced

the word laced couldn't fit any better there!

Gosh, it is totally relatable right now! I sat there thinking yes, she gets it, and she can express it when I just fumble like a fool! Well done it's beautiful.

I remember seeing these exact thought/feelings running across my wife's face when we started dating. It was so flattering to have that affect on her and now with your words you've made me feel the effect from the other side. Well done.

" Keep your eyes open

You described the Feelings here very well
I think when we overthink, often we become anxious in these types of interactions
ESPECIALLY when we have a romantic interest.
