(This is the text to a spoken word poem. Spoken word poems are better seen than read, but I am camera shy)

When we first met
I’ve gotta confess
I wasn’t crazy about you
But that you already knew

This isn’t a love at first sight song
It’s more of a slow fall
Think like an unexpected snow fall
That proved the weather man way wrong

Because first impressions aren’t everything
And you got me to sing
Hell, you got me to dance
A feat deserving of a medal

You got me high on laughter
Unable to breathe from pure happiness
A smile on my face nothing can remove
Not even the abuse I’ve been through

For once my past doesn’t matter
The pain I feel no longer leaves me shattered
My smile is real
And it has everything to do with how I feel

I am not in love
Just majorly crushing
With the hope of one day loving
Of being brave enough to ask

Would you be the harmony
To the melody my heart is singing
Take my hand and teach me to dance
Because I just wanna dance with you

Stay out until the sky turns pink
Eat burritos and watch Disney movies
Sing along to every song
Do it all except…except play baseball

You’re the man I’d introduce to my gaming group
That I would let read my unfinished stories
That I let see the real me
No mask, no filter, just me

And as much as I’d like you to make the first move
Although I know it would make things awkward
My heart is singing to loud to keep hiding it
And I wish I was brave enough to ask

If you would be the harmony
To the melody my heart is singing
If you would take my hand and teach me to dance
Because I just wanna dance with you
