one date
All it is
Take your time
Hand in your lap
Wait.
***
One date
He said
I knew when I saw
Him in the room
One date was not just once
***
He sits
And I want to run
He has not seen me yet
Run, you can
my mind says
But a joke he does say
Now I can’t help but
But grin
One date he said
***
One rule I give
I won’t fall for this man
It is only one date
What bond can even rise in that time
***
I want to take my time
But I see
That this date
I want it to last
The only rule I had
Even that did not last

The old bards had nothing on you Jazzy. Your poem is so many faceted, so much in between the lines, you are gifted my dear.
Awww, the part where he says a joke and she grins. I've always had a thing for the guys who can make me laugh. Your poem felt nostalgic to me!
You are gifted ☺️
