Nervous.
Butterflies in my stomach.
Heart thumping, beating so fast.
My body was in a state of electrification.
Negative reaction to positive electrons in my brain.
My thoughts fled in different directions.
Trying to be cool yet burning up inside.
Body chemistry creating bombs that wanted to blow.
Sweating because of heat yet freezing,
Because I was feeling my blood run cold.
All this just before meeting for our first date.

Mysterious guy! (going back, way back)
