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
