I knew I had to do it I knew I had to call her And ask her out. But I was nervous And so To calm myself down And buld myself up I went to the fridge And got myself a beer. I'm not usually a big drinker But I gulped it down Quickly And it did the trick. Suddenly I felt as if I could do anything And so I picked up the phone And dialled. It rang She answered And then My words All the ones I'd wanted to say For so long Just tumbled out. I'd done it! I'd actually, finally done it! But ...She said no. I'm still not sure why. Was it my eagerness? Was it my frankness? Or, Could it possibly have been My hiccups?
