Nerves Poem by Rose McLaughlin

Your heart beats faster,
It begins to feel bigger,
Your chest can't fit it.

There's a knot in your throat,
Your hands are shaky,
Your mouth is dry.

You're tapping your foot,
Your eyes are searching,
Your spine feels chills.

Then you see her,
There she is,
She's finally made it.

Your heart speeds faster,
The butterflies go mad,
You consider backing out.

She's better than expected,
Her smile is amazing,
She's so beautiful.

Her laugh warms your heart,
Her kindness touches you,
Her heart is endless.

She is new,
She is perfect,
She's now yours.
