She was my first

Yesterday I finally did it
I never thought I would
Had given up all hope

She said she was passing through
On holiday and why not meet and see
I thought why not and told her yes

A public place full of people
Because we met on steem
And let's be safe, just in case

We had connected, chatted,
She'd made me write for #comedyopenmic
Even though in reality I am no fun at all

What if she wouldn't laugh
What if I turned out a complete bore
Sarcasm might not save me now, yet I went

She was late, I waited a long time
Thought maybe she stood me up
Sweaty palms, incessant checking of phone

Was she an AI after all
Chatting happily while pretending
To be human--stupid I fell for it

But there she was, shy and short
I didn't recognize her from her avatar
Different haircut and more real

She was my first
I will always be thankful
Happy memories

She was my first
And hopefully not my last
Thanks Hive account@diebitch for my first Steemit Meetup!
