When I first saw her there was no doubt

for she was the fairest woman I’d ever seen.

So, I used the opportunity to ask her out

my isolation was a virus and she the vaccine.

She said yes and left me in the state of shock

I was so joyful it felt like I was going to burst.

On days like today I wish paranoia took a walk

as her company was water to quench my thirst

Our date is days away and yet still I wonder

will she show, was it all just an elaborate rouse?

I’m so nervous, afraid this big fool will blunder

it’s just a film, I’m not asking her to be my spouse.

First dates can be tough on the nerves and heart

the risk is worth it if something great were to start.
