Rose in Hand ...
A First Date Triptych: Part One

Breathe ...
'Just breathe,' said my bestie just minutes before
But now I'm standing in front of your door
All air has left my lungs, my mouth is dry
I want to knock ... want to see you with my eyes
But I can barely even breathe, or stand
Clutching the rose in my hands tight
Gentle, to not to snap it's petals of Lego
A single Lego rose ... my surprise for you
How many minutes passed before I knocked?
Don't recall even tapping on your door
But I did it ... I did it ... too late to run now
Not in these heels!
...
Oh my god ...
There she is ... she's ...
Gorgeouscuteadorablestunning - all in one
She's nervous ... I'm nervous, it's funny in a way
I enter, nervous energy buzzing in the room
Shaking, I hand her the single Lego rose
Wide smile of appreciation, with a glint more
She points, there I see ... waiting for me
Both were nervous, both worried
About looks, about what to do and say
But already the feeling of connection
The clicking of personality and thoughts
There waiting ... from her to me, just as mine was to her
Another Lego rose ... one for me
