Flip-Flap
In school, and in love. Yes, I was young once, and I still remember that day ...
Flip-flap
Went my heart.
Profile averted,
Eyes downcast,
Lip bitten,
My stomach churned.
What do I say –
Hi-hello-how-are-you?
Think fast!
Well, think deep.
Count to ten,
Don’t panic.
Read –
No, think:
How to him
Shall I speak?
Must I appear
Busy?
Downcast?
Bothered?
Bright?
Be stoic –
But I can’t!
I’m tense
I’m scared
I’m panicking
I’m incoherent.
But flip-flap –
There goes my heart.
I can feel
My eyes lit up
And my lips move
To form a smile.
You saw me –
And here you are.
