Stepping up to the plate, I knew what was coming next, Hot and fast, A little curve at the end, I could get to first base, I guessed, Rounding the corner, maybe second. A little hustle in my step, A slide perhaps, A double on opening night. Anxiety as I approached, Ready to swing away, 'can I do this?' I stepped out of the box for a moment, My turn to shine, Stepping in, Choking up, Relaxing my shoulders as I prepared to follow-through, Eyes fixed on the pitch, A homerun would be nice, Then I realized, Just getting to first-base would be a home-run for me, This rookie, My god, Dating is sooo hard.
