Fleeting glances, trembling lips,
Pounding heart, a head that dips,
Storm of thoughts, yet none to voice,
I watch her so, let my heart rejoice,
With mustered courage, I call her name,
Take a step forward, suppressing my shame,
She turns her head, a gentle wind blows,
Our eyes meet, my cheeks emit a crimson glow,
"Speak up. Yes it's harder than making rhymes,
Now is your chance, stop wasting time.
"Such were the thoughts, my head that weighed,
"Hi! There was something I wanted to say. “
She gave a nod and thus I began,
With wobbly knees and no game plan,
"Like fireflies add charm to a moonless night
And new ideas deprecate a writer's plight“
"Like a silent sea longs for a raging river
And the Cupid now waits to pull an arrow from his quiver
Such is the way for your love I pine
Dearest of all, will you be my Valentine?"
