Panic
When I see her, I panic,
My stomach gets knotted,
My brain starts to scramble,
All, in the instant I see her.
She starts to speak,
What do I do,
What should I say,
I focus on the sound of her voice,
It calms me down.
I can think straight once again .
A smile forms on her face,
She grins from ear to ear,
She's laughing,
Laughing at the joke I said.
Not because it was funny,
But because it was so bad,
She turns away,
I panic again,
Did I do something?
I can't remember...
She looks at me,
And says goodbye.
I can't think of anything anymore.
I can only think of her...
