SHYNESS


Hello!
I blush to flare up my cheeks.
An unknown girl just
but still hailed establishing
a dialogue with me
although I'm always in the clouds.
Do not laugh, it makes me even more embarrassing!
I say within myself as I watch
and I see in his eyes a light of humanity
and kindness.
I remember you! Are you that guy
I pointed to a path while I was lost
in the country!
Quick smile looking down on her part
I scratch while I timidly
his forehead as if I was on pins and needles.
Inside of me are all a-quiver,
hands sweat
and the fact of not knowing what might happen
worries me greatly.
Thank you for the last time! You've been very kind!
I want to repay you by offering you something at the bar! She said.
But look at me now I'm in a hurry I do not know: embarrassed and sweating.
Agree! When ever I get another chance
where a beautiful and kind
girl invite me for a drink?
And 'this madness,
dream or are awake?
The walk beside her I
makes you feel good
and put me at ease.
I stop sweating and my voice trembling
becomes still more and more.
Thank you! Of course I thank you because
this is the first time
communicate that makes me
happy
and lights a hope
doubtful in my heart
but thou hast taken and invited
along with your
to create an understanding of mutual friendship.
I shall be forever grateful
because in my mind
a glimmer of warmth came
and hath been deposited within
up to light my my
humanity.
