Dumbstruck - Dk

DUMBSTRUCK Every time I am with you, I am dumbstruck, overcome with excitement, being stuck in feeling funky, groovy, crazy like I am seventeen. Hard to behave like a lady, nearing seventy. Sitting across you, gazing at your smiley eyes while we talk, sip our drinks between our smiles, makes me feel a wild flower child instead of a grown, mature woman for letting all my feelings out, known. I am surprised for it was hard for me to like somebody for my elusive heart was frozen in time, numbly. I caught your eye and you melted my frozen heart, made it feel again and warmed it until it sparked. I am amazed by you and when I find myself dumbstruck thinking of you under the moonlight, I become moonstruck.

Thanks so much, Victor. I just got home from watching his rehearsal. He has a concert tomorrow, conducting his orchestra and he asked me to watch the rehearsal tonite. So, I'm on cloud nine. LOL....
