A Bundle of Nerves

Folder: 
Dedications

I'm still a bundle of nerves 

around an attractive man.

 

Eyes turn downward.

My cheeks flush.

Pulse quickens.

 

The thought that

you would even look at me,

and my heart skips a beat.

 

Those piercing blue eyes

starring into mine,

watching me as I frantically

try to appear composed.

 

But you see it;

you see me-

a bundle of nerves-

and you smirk

because you know...

I'm already wet.
