A small beat, A small bump, A small skip, And the heart Is running at full speed As you look at them You can't help but have fear And want to flee But your feet hold still Because you made up your mind And today is the day That you decided To finally do this So you walk up with Courage and dignity intact As you slip a letter Into their hand And walk away with Utter confidence and a Strong stride without sway Tears dare to prickle And come down your cheeks But you tell yourself To stop and carry Onward anyways But suddenly you hear Footsteps as someone nears Who could it be? And you turn and see Them jogging towards you And your body almost Fails to stay upright As you fear for The worst to happen But you learn that That wasn't needed As they replied and Asked to hold Your hand Written on February 23, 2021
