That inexplicable fluttering in the stomach
a feeling in the air almost like held breath
if you keep still and silent
you can almost hear something coming
not music
not voices
but a silent tension that heralds
and i feel if i wait long enough
something exciting is going to happen
to me
any second now
if i can just keep still and quiet enough...
although what i expect to happen at my age
i don't know
it happens at the begining of every summer
and I feel a girl again
full of breathless inexplicable excitment
where you know anything can happen
and will...

not sure I've managed to explain what I'm trying to, perhaps others know what I mean anyway despite the poem not being particulary good, do you ever get that feeling? at the begining of summer where you feel a teenager again almost holding your breath waiting for something magic you know will arrive if you can just keep still and be open
