Once Upon a Damsel

The very first time i saw her
Looking stunning and radiant like summer flowers
Her sweet smell would make jasmine and lavender green with envy
With a pretty smile that would make the heart skipped a beat.
Suddenly the unthinkable happened......i panicked
Could this paragon of beauty ever love me?
What if i expressed my desire and she said no?
What if she got angry and never spoke to me again?
When all the while I was suffering in silence making crazy excuses 
she was truly in love and waiting for me to ask.
