I Have Flutters-Eight Word Challenge

Can you see those waves out there upon the water wafting
The wind clashing across the water whispers the sound of silence
With this moonlit night the stars are glowing across the water waves
Do you think perchance I may hold your hand while we stand on shore
My heart had flutters as she reached for my hand and her eyes sparkling
My mind was racing thinking of folly when she looked into my eyes
I was getting a little dank underneath my arms from the heat of her body
I tried to daub it when she was not looking an embarrassment I must say
Happenstances may have been worse for the rain started to fall
We had decided that it would be best to go into my cabin for the rest
