Still

Was my heart

Unaware of his existence


But oh

Did my heart flutter

when I took a listen


One word was said

Then another

And another


Until only his voice

Danced around

Inside my head


Dare I speak?

Or allow my cowardice

To get the best of me?


Speaking was not easy

For every moment

I could feel my heart jumping


It wished to soar

It wished to fly

And flutter


Oh how it wished

With all it's might

To flutter


To embrace the bliss

To feel emotions

Long since forgotten


Be still my heart

Do not be hasty

Rushing to conclusions


We cannot foresee

That which could be happiness

Or depression


How are we to know?

A decision could be made

Not to speak tomorrow


Calm this fluttering

Before nervousness

keeps me from speaking


Cease this immediately

Before I too become aware

Of the spark within me


Flutter

My heart flutters

At the sound transmitted from his lips


How was I to know?

A sudden urge

Was now out of my control?


You are to blame

For the butterflies

Who cannot break away


Reluctantly

I will admit

my feelings slowly blossoming


For you are

the first capable

to bring forth this fluttering


Who knew you would be

The one to make me feel

As if I had been set free


But only when the time is right

Will I let my heart flutter

Hoping it will bring you to me
