The air is heavy, as music fills the room
The loud sounds from the DJ, take up space
Holding her gaze briefly, but he dare not assume
He knew she could be, his one saving grace
She blushed, like petals of a rose bouquet
Watching him walk, across the crowded floor
Trying very hard, though, she couldn’t look away
She felt his stare, straight through, to her core
Afraid to do something, if he must confess
He bowed his head, in silent despair
Not sure what to say, so she would say yes
He quietly stood, next to this maiden, fair
Clearing his throat, gathering up his nerve
He simply asked her if she cared to dance
Graciously, accepting, with quite the verve
You never know, unless you take the chance

You did wonderful in building up the nervousness. Of course, I love the message. If we don’t try we might let go of the biggest blessings in our lives.

Not so easy at times but since we know that we may not get another chance the urge inside is pushing us even more.

Yes, and even if some of those chances aren’t the right ones for us, we shouldn’t stop taking them, because somewhere down the road, the perfect one awaits!

I believe that no path is a wrong one since we always take something along we will need later. The universe is amazing!
