The butterflies are flapping their wings in my belly.
I’m nervous and it reminds me of my favorite mug that says, “why are you so nervous and sweaty”
I love that mug but I don’t love it when I am those things on the mug
And you might be the sweetest thing ever
Kind and so handsome
It is so refreshing like basil gelato on a hot Italian summer afternoon
I can’t even tell you the last time I felt all the feels
And I Polo my girls like this goofy smiley sixteen year old
And awkward like a 16 year old,
But comfortable in my forty year old body
One day at a time I tell myself, just take it one day at a time
The conversation is smooth and easy
And you’re smart
I like that.
And way more confident than me and I like that too
You and I are two adventurers
That keeps my attention
Plus, you make me laugh and it has been too long since I laughed like this
What you don’t know but I do, is that you showed up in a red, plaid, flannel shirt
So I knew I was safe
That is a story for another time
But my heart leapt a few beats
So let it be me friend
Because I feel like I can’t always say what I want to
Because thoughts get stuck and die in my throat but bubble up like a laugh and a smile
