Knowing the Answer Even Before Asking the Question
My heart is beating so fast I can not
say for sure
If it may not at any moment go into
cardiac arrest and explode out my
chest cavity
And my hands are so sweaty its like
they are raining confetti at a vegan
wedding
In the hope you will submit cease to resist
and eventually say yes
To my simple request to take you out
on a date
Because at the end of the day I am
just a boy who is terminally shy and
dead coy
Putting both myself and my heart on
the line
Internally hoping and praying you will
see through my imperfections and outwardly
displayed insecurity flaws
So as to offer me a chance to enhance my
confidence and enable you to see me for
all that I can be rather than what I am not
Because there is only a certain amount of
rejections a person can take before they
finally run out of hope and eventually give up
Trying already knowing the outcome and
answer before asking the actual question
So for the umpteenth and probably last
time fingers crossed
Wish me luck this is the 1 who will agree
and kindly say yes
To going out with little old me
And if she does I'll be sure to let you know
How it goes
