When I first saw her there was no doubt

  for she was the fairest woman I’d ever seen.

  So, I used the opportunity to ask her out

   On days like today I wish paranoia took a walk

  it’s just a film, I’m not asking her to be my spouse.

  First dates can be tough on the nerves and heart

  the risk is worth it if something great were to start.
