'when We Meet, This Is What I Want To Say'

I could write a speech Dot all the i’s, double check The spelling and the grammar in anticipation... We all know how First time meetings can be daunting The cold sweats, the nervous twitch And not to mention those bad hair days Can all play their unique part, In the end, it will just be the two of us Standing or sitting across from each other Probably smiling absently Wondering what the other one was thinking… Totally confused, should I have hugged him Or was the hands shake enough? Fiddling with my earrings, Quickly look at you when you look away.. What would you say? One word I will definitely utter is hello, Before I brush my lips over yours…
*lol, Mr. Hall, the ending is just because, I know how you like things twisted*

This piece Wilma is an absolute joy to read. Michael hit the nail on the head, we have all been there, or we all deserve to be in this position. So many feelings and emotion run riot at this stage. But boy oh boy! it's a lovely feeling to have. Terrific poetry....:)

You express the trepidation of meeting a new man so well here. Sometimes the words don't come too easily. I really enjoyed this one as I can relate to this experience. It's always uncomfortable.

Those first dates can be filled with anxiety, Wilma. My last beau just planted a kiss before even saying hello when I opened the door. He said it was his way of "breaking the ice." Still, most first encounters are just as you describe -- we worry about how we look, what to say and what the other person thinks of us. Beautifully written, dear. The sun is just rising here and I'm headed to early mass. Love, Carolyn
