First Time Encounters

First Time Encounters

A Poem by Airila

Tension filling the night air while my nerves get the better of me.

Should I say something first, do I wait?

What do I say if I do say something first, what questions do I ask?

Should I ask anything at all?

I'm normally so blunt with my words, so why this fear?

This never ending feeling like the hairs on the back of my neck standing up?

This intimidating feeling I get just waiting for words to trail from our fingertips and onto the screen

First time encounters that want to get the better of me as I wait for unspoken words to be said, to be read

Eyes glued, hanging on every single word, every phrase and syllable.

Trying to engage in polite conversation but so many questions linger in my mind

What happened to us?

The bond we had those few months

Where did it go?

Did time sever that tether line that we were tied into

Or was it you?

Wow, this was really good, and your title pulled me in. The first line was very intruding as well. you did a very good job, i enjoyed it a lot.
