Panic!

That one single moment

Unexpected and bold

My heart skips a beat

Leaves me shivering, cold

In the sound of that name

In the depths of those eyes

My senses react

A painful surprise

I can pinpoint the second

When my pulse starts to race

To the very moment

Of when I saw his face

It's not a good feeling

Though it used to be

But now it revokes

Taunting memories

Of when I was naive

When I was so young

Of when in the air

A nervous "love" hung

Of times I would stare

At the empty screen

And blame myself 

For you being so mean

You'd always reject me

And crawl right on back

Causing self hatred

The scrape of a tack

And now I've moved on!

I swear, it's the truth.

I've grown so much wiser

Since those days of my youth.

But it's always still there,

I can't explain why

That quick pulse increase

As if my heart's high

I swear I don't care

You can die all alone

But for some silly reason

To PANIC! I'm prone.
