I thank you for asking.....

Now I don't ever claim to be very dashing
I won't 'step out' with you but I thank you for asking
What the hell am I saying to you
I would be totally mad not to!

So tell me what time you want me round to your flat
I guess I scrub up well, with aftershave an' all that
I'll see you in a couple of hours
And no! I won't forget the flowers

Well I turn up and my palms are hot and sweaty
Got the bouquet of flowers, sprinkled with confetti
And I go and knock on your door
Then just stare at my shoes and the floor

You open the door and ask "Hi how ya doing?"
I clumsily respond, but fear my chance is ruined
And then you invite me in
So I follow behind with a nervous grin

I offer you the flowers and kiss you on the cheek
For a moment our eyes lock, I can't seem to speak
"Would you like to make yourself a drink?
"I'm almost ready I think"

So I head into the lounge and pour myself a brandy
Don't want to get too drunk, perhaps this should be shandy
I'm hoping for a romantic night
As I search for a tab and light

You call me to your bedroom door, and I start knocking
And ask me if I would help you to adjust your stocking
I feel myself going red
As you sit, your legs crossed on the bed

I try to do my best, but my hands keep shaking
You tell me  " Don't be shy, it's a brave move you're making"
And then you pull me in tight
I guess we are not going out tonight

Real or a Dream

Here it is real and i enjoyed it. A human interest story so to speak. How many males go through this, us girls let most out and this is from the other side of the fence and it is good. You can write a love story with the best of them. Just cop the praise, you deserve it. Thanks, Love Lyz. XX
