Making the Move
A sudden rush of blood
A sharp constriction of muscles
A quick twitch in my abdomen
A million droplets on my forehead
All indicating am not in the mood
But my mind chooses to push on
A shy escapes my lungs
My mind goes blank
Words escape my lips
My muscles go limp
My legs almost giving away
Yet I was moving and was getting closer
A smooth cough escapes my dry mouth
She looks up and my eyes shyly wonder away
My mouth mumbles something softly
Her gentle reply brings me back to reality
I had moved this far;so I realized
And i knew there was no way back
I have finally made the move
Here i was fidgeting for the words
looking for the romantic phrases i had prepared
Hard I labored but none came out
Stammering a few unromantic words
She stops and listens
Finally I have made a life long friend
