“You Decide To Bring Her Flowers”

You Decide To Bring Her Flowers
You decide to bring her flowers even though it’s
your first date and you’re scared you’re coming
on too strong and you don’t even know if it’s a
date-date or just a date but you decide to bring
her flowers even though you think maybe she just
wants a new friend though you remind yourself
she’s the one who called and asked you out to
dinner but she can’t really have a crush on you
can she, so you decide to take the risk and bring her
flowers because all your life you’ve tried to
second guess everyone else’s feelings and deny your
own so you decide to bring her flowers because
anyway if you looked in the mirror you’d see
desire written all over your face as soft and
fragile as the purple petals of the iris she is now
holding with such shy pleasure in her eyes that
your stomach lurches with the wanting of her and
you decide your biggest fear is that she’ll say yes
