"I walk in. I say hello, 14 and a half times.
Is he eyeing the length of my skirt?
I am overthinking
This is a safe space.
I should have gone with the jeans.

The garden looked so nice
With the roses, though feisty thorns
I must say
Their money plant is growing fast eh, I mean makes sense!
Oh, hello nice doggie, you’re also bored, aren’t you?
I love your company too!

I was scared first, but
I have to say,
you’re growing on me."
