First Date

First Date

A Poem by Riley

She walks out looking so lovely and I'm speechless
In my mind, I wonder how I got her to say yes to me
I should queue Shayne Ward coz she really does leave me breathless
Maybe she just doesn't have anywhere else to be

We're having lunch making conversation for quite a while
Evening sets in, I guess the hours really do fly when you're having a good time

Her smile so perfect I keep telling her things so she does laugh
Voices in my head "see, this is easy, it's not that tough"

On the way home, should I hold her hand or put my arm around her ?
I want her to be comfortable, the emotion I don't want directed at me is anger

It's night already and we're walking to her place
I want to spend as much time as possible with her, so I'm waking at such a slow pace
I nervously reach for her hand, she looks at me and smiles
I feel our fingers interlock and her grip tightens
If this was a race against myself then I guess I'm ahead by miles
This is big, bigger than the clash of the Titans

We get to her door and I already know this lovely day will be no more
Time to say goodnight but should I hug her or kiss her?
Should I put my faith in my Nike shoes and just do it ?
Should I play the humble gentleman and first ask for it ?

The stars aligned and the moon shining, this night is mine
I'm gonna do it. NO! Let me wait for her to give me a sign.
I panicked, I froze, my heart was pounding
She hugged me, used her cheek to caress mine
But still I froze just hugged her back and did nothing.

Was that it? What if that was the signal I was waiting to get?
Well the chance is gone I guess I'll have to wait for the second date
