Love Shy

This situation can't be real
I don't know how I should feel
Emotions are on high alert
Not sure if I should just dessert
This prAedicament I'm in
Causing me to run again
Or stay and see where it will lead
My track record to succeed
With finding a love so true
Has only left me sad and blue
So as you approach so near
I am like a scared shy deer
Cautiously sensing the danger
Of this big and burly stranger
Moving toward me very slow
My defenses start to grow
I'm clenching up in a tight
Weakened scared ball of fright
Not sure what my heart should do
As I'm now looking at you
You greet me with a soft hello
As you say your name so low
Holding out your hand to shake
I feel something as I take
Your trembling hand in mine
I could sense you tryna find
A love for your heart like me
Maybe it was destiny
Bringing lonely souls together
I'm now floating like a feather
As we talk about our pasts
Time is flying by so fast
Into morning as we both
Are hit with a lightening bolt
Of love shocking both our hearts
To learn how to finally start
Knowing what true love really is
Handshakes lead to passionate kiss
