A Life Changing Moment

She walks in

a swift breeze is amidst

A chilling feeling

Quite eccentric

My neck hairs stand

Goosebumps all over

I’m nervous

Am I good enough

Low self-esteem

Low self confidence

That’s not attractive

But she is

Her brunette hair

Her blue eyes

She’s natural

And I’m pretentious

Do I have a chance

Only one way to find out

I must talk to her

Am I now brave

What do I open with

What do I close with

How do I approach this

Questions over-populating my brain

Is this my life

Or is it not

Am I a puppet

Or my own conscience

You are always

One decision away

From a totally

Different life

Is this my decision

That’ll change my life

Or is it a fluke

I’ll never know

You miss 100 percent

Of the shots

You don’t take

Am I taking the shot

I stand up

I walk to her

I see her smile

What have I done

My palms are sweating

My knees are shaking

She speaks first

My ship is filling with water

I feel like I’m sinking

But I work up the words

I speak back

Did I say the right words

Her face lights up

We exchange names

We engage in conversation

I made the right decision

She’s amazing

She’s perfect

That night was perfect

My life is changed
