At First Glance
**At First Glance**
Friday night lights blind,
Fans thick and in full throat.
our team is in position, primed.
Everyone praying they don't choke!
I'm grooving thanks to Jose' & Jack,
my voice hoarse from acting a fool.
Wait!
Before I continue
let me just tell you
what caught my eye!
A ginger,
let's say five nine,
white denim jacket, stunning!
Long hair twisted in design.
Lights reflection flashing
brightly from her crimson hair.
I stare,
shorties unique with much flare
At first glance I was hooked
and I don't even have her name.
I make my way across the field
to be known to this grande dame.
Where was I?
oh yeah, the ballgame!
They won with a great aerial attack,
there will be parties all night at school.
the crowd dissolves, she stands alone
I approach!
Not shy, I cast the first stone.
Hello,
my name is! you are?
My voice deep like a trombone,
nervous, I'm out of my comfort zone!
She breaks the ice,
saying something witty
"why'd you take so long?
"I noticed you to silly!"
"Do you have plans tonight?
would you like to join me?"
There's a party on the south side,
just over the railroad tracks.
I grab her hand, "lets take a ride"
Twas my angle of attack!
From a sea of faces,
she stood alone.
Lost in her eyes,
my oasis.
Under her control.
Like a game of "Where's Waldo",
romance found by chance!
Never thought I could fall so hard,
At first glance!
