Every Legend has a Beginning
I was never the cool kid
aways came up last
tried to have this tough guy facade
it never got me very far
the day you walked past me
it was like sirens going off
my head wouldn’t stop throbbing
I had to know your love
at the time I wished for,
the doubts in my head to stop
“you’re not handsome enough
you’re not popular enough
she could do much better”
wanted to push a button
fast forward to you being mine
prayed to god for all the answers
I was left with more questions
that’s when you stopped me
said - “I know that you like me
no need for much thinking
kiss me how you want to
and just go with the flow”
underneath I was the shy boy
forced myself to courage up
spent time talking to you
I wasn’t listening much
watching your lips move
my mind wandered other places
couldn’t help but think of you naked
call me a chauvinist if you must
I was just a man
fixated on your perfection
“please don’t leave
we can stay here all day”
is what I wanted to say
inside your temptation
without question
this was beyond reason
wave links from me to you
telling me
there was a connection
it was meant to be
but the doubts screamed out
“what if I’m wrong?
will she tell everyone?
make me look like scum?”
I wanted to shut those thoughts off
dive into some danger for once
...but I didn’t have to
that’s when you silenced me
kissed me on the lips
said - “don’t think too much
touch me how you want to
find peace in my body
and just go with the flow”

I love the soothing nature of this ... the lingering, relenting doubt ... but then the comforting words.

Moments like these are very scary for younger people. It is always best to just go with it and not think too much. I often find that the more you think the more you screw up 😂
On a side note; my first crush I thought I could talk to her through my mind.... I was a weird kid 😔
Thanks for reading my poem 🤗
