A friend has sniffed romance in the air. I can’t talk about it. She’s afraid that I might curse it and undermine her whole future. But I wrote this for her this morning …. by way of wishing her luck.
Actually, it all springs from her use of the word ‘nascency’. I had to look that word up to find out what it meant. I have a very poor vocabulary.

I am walking in the park
There’s someone walking by
No one very special
Just an average kind of guy
I wonder if he’s talkative
I wonder if he’s shy
I wonder what he’d wonder
If I approached and just said hi
I wouldn’t call him short
But I wouldn’t call him tall
I wouldn’t call him anything
I don’t know him at all
I wonder if he’d stop and help
Were I to trip and fall
He might ask me for my number
Then I’d wonder if he’d call
There’s such a lot to wonder
I wonder if I’d dare
To pledge eternal love for him
And wonder if he’d care
My goodness! He just looked at me!
He saw me stop and stare
I think there’s something happening
There’s something in the air
The whole thing’s in its nascency
We haven’t spoken yet
I don’t know what might come of this
Or just how far we’ll get
It’s time to cast a spell on him
It’s time to cast my net
There can be no complacency
There will be no regret.

Thanks, I learnt a new word. A brilliant poem that captures both the excitement, doubt and other emotions that come with the nascency of a relationship and meeting someone. As a giggly girl myself, that’s exactly everything that we wonder yes.

I’d say you nailed it, sir. That tentative what-if, the maybe, the hesitation…oy, such memories that stirs up. =)
