Anxious, scared of what you may think. <br />When at first we meet. <br />Sweaty palms, nervous as hell. <br />Will it all go well? <br />Thumping heart inside my chest. <br />Getting choked on my own spit. <br />Fast pace from one spot to the next <br />And then back again. <br />You pull up, this is it. <br />Heart stops. Knowing this is the only shot. <br />Meeting you halfway I say hey. <br />You answer back with a smile. <br />Knees shaking as I walk you <br />And open the car door. <br />Slamming shut, I walk around the front. <br />Wondering if you're watching me. <br />Watching how I carry myself. <br />I'm hoping it's a good display. <br />I wipe the sweat off my face. <br />I sit down beside you with nothing to say. <br />I go through my mind as the engine starts <br />But all my words are lost. <br />I speak my only thought <br />And ask how are you? <br />That's all I had to say to start it off. <br />As I sit and listen to that beautiful voice talk.<br /><br />Josh Burnett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/first-time-meet/
