Expectation

A restless night
Thoughts raced by
Could almost touch what I saw
With my mind's eye

Clock moved so slowly
I swore it knew
And with every tick and toc
My expectation grew

Could taste it in the air
The excitement and the fear
What would it be like
The first time that you're near?

Would I shake uncontrollably
As my nerves ran free
I'd have you in my grasp
My favourite fantasy

I still remember how my head swam
Walking up to you
Legs had turned to jelly
Nothing I could do

Don't recall a thing I said
Probably just babbled away
I knew I'd lose my composure
I'm embarrassed to say

For there you were
Picture-book pretty for sure
And I'll gladly admit
I was in your awe

I left there on a cloud
My feet not near the ground
It was only very brief
But the effect quite profound

Only one question remains
It still lingers in me
Wonder what you thought, felt
When you first saw Three
