What have I walked into?
Acting on my expectations
I have too many, today I had
A million, what do I say to an
Unknown somebody I've never
Met before? What could he say?
Will he be kind and open, perhaps
Quiet and shy? I don't not know, my
Heart is beating too fast for me to
Count a heartbeat per second, I'm
Scared and want to run, do I hide?
I am no coward, I face my worries
On the front line and fight through
My doubts, an incoming storm of
Wild thoughts, they're not about
To go, not any time soon, my time
Had gone to waste, we spoke in a
Rush, he says he doesn't talk much
We're not in sync, we're disconnected
Were we at all connected? I felt no spark
In my bones, an awkwardness shining in
My eyes, uncomfortable isn't the word I'd
Use, I was terrified, scared of everything
Now I doubt he'll want to see me again
I do and do not wish to see him, whatever
Did I walk into, a disaster waiting to happen.
