One Saturday Night…
I fell for you
one Saturday night.
I could barely breathe
when my eyes
landed upon you.
My mind raced
and all my words faltered.
It was like you
stepped out of a dream
the moment I awoke.
I thought that perhaps
you were an illusion.
My eyes playing
cruel tricks
on my brain.
But no, oh no,
there you stood.
Pure perfection
in beautifully flawed
living, breathing human form.
In you lay all the promise
of unfulfilled fantasy.
The potential to put
my fears to rest.
To, once and for all,
be happy.
Could I manage
the precious bravery
that it would take
just to finally meet you,
just to say “hello”?
One word seems so simple
no too hard to say.
But, for me, it required
the ultimate act
of courage.
Not to let regret
be my perpetual companion.
To create a new outcome
for my future
instead of the constant
of unhappiness.
To unleash the confidence
that was inside of me
all along.
You brought all of it
out of me.
You didn’t even know
how important you were
in that moment.
The potential of you
made this sad, quiet girl
unshackle herself
from the bonds
of loneliness.
And I did not waver
as I boldly made my way
to stand before you,
a stranger,
and simply say “hello”.
In a brief moment
of introduction,
I learned the true value
of myself.
I am quiet no more.
