introverted_extrovert
realistic optimist after many minutes of zen
soaking in bubbly bliss
a couple entered the hottub
wanting privacy to kiss

i took a few more moments
to come back into my head
then politely stepped out,
on into the night i headed.

wrapped nicely in my blanket
of sordid thoughts and musings
about engaging with the world
with this physical body i'm using.

and as i peered from folds
in my blanket of introversion,
i noticed a cute young thing
such a nice visual diversion!

as she neared the pool gate, i
caught her eye and offered a smile
she smiled right back, and left
the gate open for me with style.

"no thanks," i said, "i just got
out of the hottub, the pool would
be too cold!" As i strode away, she
related: "it's going to feel good!"

Immediately i chided myself for
not jumping on such a good chance -
i could have gotten to know this girl
i could have learned a new dance.

i'm always missing out on such
open opportunities to meet girls
i'm too wrapped up in my head
to be open when the chance unfurls.

its not just introversion, because
i love to meet people, i'm not shy!
except when meeting attractive girls
they change me into a different guy.

i want to change this about myself
but i don't know where to start.
i need to be sincere and genuine
even more so with matters of the heart.
