Weak in the knees. Trembling of the hands. Stutters of words. Fluttering of the heart. Those are just a mere samples of what happens when you step into the room. The constant need to make you smile that oh so adorable laugh of yours, It’s something I can’t control. The countless hours of preparation just for a one second, second glance. The soft yet noticeable blush that somehow always find it’s way to my cheeks when you pay a compliment or make fun of my clumsiness. Is this real? Or my overactive imagination? I must do something. If I don’t, regret will definitely make its stay. Here I go, about to make the move. It has to happen. I see you. I smile, watching you enjoy the company of your friends always makes my day. One step. Thats all I have to take. One tiny step and I can finally get to know the real you. Alas, As I get closer the fear sets in. Will you say yes? What will you do? Will you take my hand? Will you totally just turn around and ignore me forever? I do not want that. I like you to much. Finally. I arrive at your side, patiently awaiting my turn for your attention. You turn to me, looking at me with those pretty close to perfect eyes of yours. I look up at you, about to ask, about to say what I want to say. What I must say. I panic. Heart beating more than a mile a minute. I can’t do this. Fear is definitely a challenge to overcome. I open my mouth Words that I do not want to come out, Come out. Although I get to see the smile I adore so much, I don’t get to see it whenever I want. Stage ****** has totally won this time. But you wait, yes sir, you wait. There will be a time when I step out of the cage that prevents me from what I want. And that time? Will be glorious. It will most likely be funny. I hope you’re ready. It looks like it will happen sooner rather than later

Sooner Rather Than Later
