All that Jitters..

Time confirmed, the place is finalised..
Going on a date finally after all this while!
Can't get rid of this jitters and butterflies,
I try and pretend, but my mind knows it's all lies!

So much to do and it's already past noon,
We'll be eating at the rooftop under the moon.
It's our first you see, after we knew we were in love..
We took the leap and decided for the fluttering of doves.

Nothing should go wrong, I want it all to be perfect,
Trying my best to leave absolutely no defect!
I'm forgetting something, trying hard to recollect..
I know I'll remember it on the 12th hour, all thanks to my intellect!

I headed straightaway to the shower for the date,
Ofcourse I don't want to smell bad while we ate.
Shampoo my hair so that it too smells good,
After the bath, I gel my hair to get in the mood.

I've to get dressed, but what should I wear?
It's just a casual one, I don't want to overdress!
I first thought of going classic with the tuxedo,
But for a casual dinner, I guess I'll overdo!

So then I went to what every man turns towards,
The saviour, the versatile, the call is never unheard!
Just name the occasion and it fits always right,
I decided to wear my favourite black shirt tonight!

Paired up with chinos and wore sneakers with lace,
Put on my watch and kept my game at ace!
Being friends since long was the best part,
So impressing her was definitely off the cart!

I hop into my car now as I'm all set to go..
I've to pick her and I'm already running late, oh no!
As I'm driving I suddenly remember what I forgot,
Going to her house empty handed, why aren't the flowers bought!

See, didn't I tell you, it's always the case..
I always remember it when it's almost too late!
So I drove to the florist real quick, picked up a bunch,
Tulips are her favourite, I remember once she told over lunch!

Chose all shades of pink with a little purple hue..
I was getting late, so I quickly paid him the sum due!
I rang her doorbell, hid my face behind the flowers..
Heart started racing as now we'll be seeing each other as lovers!

Nervousness sweating down, anxiety increasing,
She opens the door and my mind starts singing!
The tulips I bought lost it's beauty compared to her as I saw,
So beautiful she looked, I kept staring in complete awe!

I opened my car door for her, she looked at me and gave a funny smile,
I've never been this gentleman with her, even I thought that for a while!
We reached our rooftop restaurant, the reservations got us inside soon,
We both were nervous as we felt the jitters, sitting under the shimmering moon!
