Repetitions and sets to look your best
Taking pauses in between to give your body rest
The machines and dumbbells clang and clash as you complete your last exercise

You bench press in time to the rhythm of my heart
I know my routine but confused as to where to start
I can’t help but stare and stare for too long as I admire your beauty and form

It’s always a question of confidence and fear
Will I walk up and chat or stay afraid to be near
At times I surprise myself, maybe this will be such an occasion

I know that the fear is all in my mind
As there will come a day where I will find
That after all this time you were waiting to talk to me too
