What in the name of love?
You can't make this stuff up
Heart beating
Mind racing
Cheeks blushing
Fingers lacing
around themselves, not someone else's.
Telltale heart is misleading;
it implies communication.
My heart is running everything except its mouth
Which is the one spot that might have helped.
I've heard of love.
I've watched love
stories on tv and film.
I'm holding my own hand
and staring at a stranger.
I don't think she's noticed
or else she's embarrassed too.
This can't be love,
we haven't met.
Who's that with her?
Who is that man?
Look away.
Look away!
Uh oh. She saw
me staring. He's coming
over.
Help.
Send help.
