Everytime

Explores the internal struggle and the emotional battlefield of young man before a date.

                                              Every Time

My heart is racing

I stand anxious
I hear my breathing
My heart pounding
I stand unsure
My mind races searching for words should it falter
In the presence of beauty that not even time could alter

I stand excited
My thoughts fly ‘round my head
And at once my stomach feels of butterflies and lead
I stand nervous
If I run I can’t mess up
If I run I can’t disappoint
If I run there’s still next time

But if I run I won’t have this time

I stand
Feeling the way I do every time I stand at this door
Waiting with heart high to see her once more
