Suddenly Awkward
SUDDENLY AWKWARD
Her forced smile made me wonder, she held tight my hand ,feeling likely prone to blunder, coherent thought escaping my command. Now forcing my own smile, looking surely out of touch , First dates just make me fumble and make me think too much.
Her blue eyes glistened,
I listened to her breathe, awkward as a child foraging on hands and knees, straining to unsheathe a charming phrase that perks her interest , a persuasion to invest her time and her desires and be anxious to coalesce.
She was magnificent , intelligent, confident and beautiful , and somehow knowing that just made it worse. Guiding not this wistful dream to flourish , all gears stripped ,no progress nourished , straight Downhill the path of Success Traversed
A Last Burning Glance viewed Chanced romance careening in reverse. My brain reduced to residue , falling victim to the First Date Curse.
