Confused

Geri Darrow 1985 (norwich, ct)

My knees start to shake,
When you're in sight.
My mind is filled with wonder,
My heart with fright.

When will this feeling stop?
When did it start?
How can I listen to my mind,
Without breaking my heart?

I'm so confused.
What should I do?
I can't think of anything,
Except you.

Should I ignore you,
Or just give it time?
I can't think straight,
My heart contrlos my mind.
