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
