"ADRONITIS" in "RESTLESS: POETICALLY-SPEAKING"

They say patience is a virtue
and fairy tales aren’t true.
There’s no such thing as ‘love at a first sight.
Such a childish mentality isn’t right.

I know we’ve just met
but there’s this feeling that I get.
This may sound like some cliché,
but please hear me out when I say:

Forgive my impatience,
but the butterflies in my stomach are doing that dance.
I hope I’m just nervous,
especially since you’re so gorgeous.

Wait, what?
Oh, no.
Don’t run away from me.
I didn’t mean to sound so creepy.

Oh, well.
My first effort failed.
This is what you get for being impatient.
You know how to clear up the room.
Just say the cheesiest line then BOOM!

Wake up from your pipe dreams.
Nothing’s always as it seems.
Next time you see another hottie,
Just behave – don’t get all freaky!
