At the downtown café
On that bright sunny day
Was my first date with a guy
I felt so unsure, I felt so shy
What should I say, how should I greet
I could feel cold sweat, flooding my feet
So I kept rehearsing, all in my head
Cause messing it up, was my biggest dread
I kept checking my hair and tiding my clothes
Then he suddenly appeared, and I almost froze
I fumbled and mumbled and shook his hand
Not how I wanted it, not how I planned
A nervous wreck, I slumped in my chair
All I could do was just blush and stare
He knew my discomfort and put me at ease
Told me to relax and do as I please
I shook of the nerves, and we chatted about
I could feel a connection; there wasn’t a doubt
The coffee was warm and so was the feeling
As we laughed and learned, a friendship was sealing
He was funny and smart and very clever
How I wished the chat would last forever
Finally, the time came, for us to part
I got up and hugged him straight from the heart
We promised to meet and repeat our date
I walked out the café, elated and great
That dear friends was my first date with a guy
I’m no more unsure, I’m no more shy.

A tender reflection on the vulnerability of a first date between two men, where nervous hesitation transforms into warmth, laughter, and authentic connection.
