Silly Sentimentality
First, an uneasy silence,
then a definite maybe;
I hope it's just tipping
the first domino for me;
perhaps I misunderstand,
so I won't miscalculate;
she might not give her hand,
but then it might be too late;
feeling ridiculous and silly,
I fight off this stupid anxiety,
but I'm a mismatch against
old-fashioned sentimentality!
