Love Poem: Cute

Cute

I felt this moment coming on before
The anticipation of union
The strange breach from friendship to romance

I know he is pining for my touch,
His eyes pour forth a passion I can barely dare to behold
He talks to me softly, 
I listen attentively
I am afraid of him
I am afraid to move forward or away

He clasps my hands
And we laugh, and I sigh with relief
We are both scared
That is a great comfort

He says, “You are so cute.”
And I say, “No, I’m an idiot.
I’m stupid around you
The words I say literally make no sense!
When you speak, you make my IQ drop,
My innards flop,
You make me oh so weak
You are HOT,
In every single way
Your lips, they sing to me
They challenge me to play
Your eyes, they take me to your dreams
I want to be lost with you
And never be found
I want to kiss you
I want to never again miss you.”

Okay, I didn’t say all that,
But I did say, “So are you….sort of. Just a little.”
