How would I know my heart would melt?
How do I explain just what I felt?
Standing, waiting, hands in pocket,
Heart a racing as would a rocket.
Cheerful that we would finally meet
Frightened if my clothes were neat,
Did my breath scream a cry?
All these thoughts were awry.
I could not clear my mind of pain,
So many thoughts to try and explain,
So many feelings I must maintain,
So many visions awoke in my brain.
Here she comes from down the hall,
My heart has stopped, my legs soon to fall,
She has a beauty that cannot be hid.
I just stood there, my hearts amid.
What would I say to such a face?
To say one wrong, a pure disgrace.
My tongue is tied I cannot speak
In my soul are words I seek.
My legs shake, my body grew cold,
For this was it, I could not unfold,
This was what I craved from days on end,
To hear her voice and see my friend.
I said hello with fear in tone,
A feeling of shyness went straight to the bone.
She looks and smiles and grabs my eye,
So much expression, I could just die.
I met that person that made me smile,
As we stood among a busy aisle,
She’s the one for I have felt,
For that moment made my heart melt.
