Heart pounding, hard in my chest
Speech is hard to do
Hands shaking
Stomach feels butterflies
I go to him to talk
But all I can do is stare
Cheeks turn red
Open my mouth
Only silence escapes it
Blushing I turn away
Start to walk away
But I regain My strenght
I go to him
Heart pouding out of my chest
Open my mouth once again
Words fly out
I smile at him
I look at him
And find that he is blushing as well
I guess we have alot in common . . .

Oops sorry about that, it's supposed to be the word "you", but I guess you could have figured that out by yourself! :)
