Love Poem: Knowing the Answer Even Before Asking the Question

Knowing the Answer Even Before Asking the Question

My heart is beating so fast I can not 
say for sure 

If it may not at any moment go into
cardiac arrest and explode out my 
chest cavity 

And my hands are so sweaty its like
they are raining confetti at a vegan
wedding 

In the hope you will submit cease to resist 
and eventually say yes

To my simple request to take you out
on a date

Because at the end of the day I am
just a boy who is terminally shy and 
dead coy

Putting both myself and my heart on
the line

Internally hoping and praying you will
see through my imperfections and outwardly
displayed insecurity flaws

So as to offer me a chance to enhance my
confidence and enable you to see me for
all that I can be rather than what I am not

Because there is only a certain amount of
rejections a person can take before they
finally run out of hope and eventually give up

Trying already knowing the outcome and
answer before asking the actual question 

So for the umpteenth and probably last
time fingers crossed 

Wish me luck this is the 1 who will agree
and kindly say yes

To going out with little old me

And if she does I'll be sure to let you know

How it goes
