Anticipation

The idea manifested itself in my mind
Already after midnight
I shouldn't have been awake
It was the best idea I had ever had
Never in my life had I been so bold
Never in my life had I taken chances
Men ask women out, not the other way
These old fashioned values hid a fear
Fear of rejection had held me back
Something was different this time
I had no fear of facing you
Only giddy anticipation
As I walked briskly up to you
I sat down and asked you
The biggest question of my life
I knew you wouldn't reject me
You looked confused at first
You processed my words slowly
And quietly accepted them with a kiss
A long awaited kiss for both of us
One that sealed our fate
I call it my divine intervention
And thank God for it
