First Date

By K chan

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I’m shiveryAll shakey insideNow that it’s overBiting my nailsStuttering wordsWith chattering teethI’m lonelyThough my laughterWas nervousConversationSlightly awkwardWith long pausesI’m happyIt was worth itBeing with himThe first timeThough I was shyWith him near meOkay. Yes. Um. Weird. But .. it was my first date, and I just got home, and .. here it is. The shivering part comes from the fact that whenever I'm really tired or nervous, I shiver, complete with chattering teeth. Awful short compared to what I usually write, and in an odd format, but I think I like it. Written January 20th, 2002 © on Jan 20 2002 10:18 AM PST   10 • 0 • 8
