Stomachs churning, heart is pounding
Shyly smiling,hope resounding
Ever growing panic nears
Mounting tension, mounting fears.

Awkward silence, shuffling feet
Choppy sentences, sense defeat
Glimpsing smiles and downcast eyes
A spark that catches by surprise.

A change in venue, laughter growing
Easy conversation sowing
Twinkling eyes and softer smiles
Longer gazes, butterfly trials

Walking, strolling, summer bliss
Entangled fingers, love's first kiss.
