A short poem about a sudden infatuation brought on by extreme beauty or grace.
Excuse me Miss,
Can you,
Wait,
Just a moment,
And let me,
Catch my breath?
I said,
Wait,
Just a moment,
And let me,
Catch my breath.

Let me try to,
Capture the air,
That you’ve,
Torn from my breast,
Let me try to find a way to,
Refill my chest.

I said wait,
Just a moment,
And let me,
Catch my breath.

Oh please can’t you wait,
Just a moment,
And let me,
Study you?
Let me study you like a brand new book,
Let me study your hair,
Your eyes,
Your look.

‘Cause I swear right now on my grand daddy’s grave,
You’re the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen,
And,
I aint that brave.

But I just had to tell you,
That you made my day.
And if I died right now,
It’d be a happy death.

So won’t you please,
Wait just a moment,
And let me,
Catch my breath?
