Everyday Fears: Making the First Move

She wishes he would do it,
But he hasn’t. So now what?
If she waits too long,
Then some other girl

Will beat her to him. So,
She has to try to pluck it up:
And make the first move.
Her heart’s in a whirl

Because she’s never been the type
To do this sort of thing:
She has some friends
Who do it every day —

She dies a little every time
Another chance is missed:
She’s not sure how to,
She’s not made
That way
