Complete Surprise
I didn't think I'd ever get to date you,
you were always busy with other things.
And I thought the stories I'd heard were true;
you were a full-fledged bird flexing her wings.
Not a caged canary who sweetly sings;
but a hawk, keen for the thrill the hunt brings.
You appeared angelic, beyond pretty;
and so, I did not think I had a chance.
You were breathtaking, charming, and witty;
it was doubtful I'd get a second glance.
And yet, your beauty held me in a trance,
and I felt I had to ask you to dance.
At first, I thought you'd laugh and ignore me;
as I approached you like a work of art.
I was tempted to turn back, leave you be;
I didn't know exactly how I should start.
And my courage was fast falling apart,
scared you might reject me and break my heart.
But instead, you smiled, looked into my eyes
and answered yes, to my complete surprise.
