Complete Surprise
I didn't think I'd ever get to meet you,
knowing full well how much rejection stings.
And I thought the stories I'd heard were true,
that you're a full-fledged bird flexing its wings.
Not a caged canary who sweetly sings,
but a hawk, keen for the thrill the hunt brings.
You appeared Angelic, beyond pretty,
and so, I didn't believe I had a chance.
You were breathtaking, charming, and witty;
I doubted that I'd get a second glance.
And yet, your aura held me in a trance,
compelling me to ask you for a dance.
At first, I thought you'd laugh and ignore me;
I wasn't entirely sure how I should start.
I was tempted to turn around and flee
as I approached a living work of art.
And my courage was fast falling apart,
scared that you might chide me and break my heart.
But instead, you smiled, looked into my eyes
and answered yes: to my complete surprise.
