When encountering an angel

Saw an angel in the city
I Looked,
Double take,
Look again,
A smile that drew me in,
I admit i look a bit sketchy,
Staring as if I've never seen a girl,
The beat,
It stopped,
It started again,
My heart is racing,
Day dreaming about flirtatious gestures,
You looked,
You double took,
And You looked again,
Then you crossed the street to neverland,
I assumed that I lost my chance,
My friend,
He laughed,
He got serious,
He said I promise you will see this girl again,
Self doubt,
Sudden courage,
A swear to the above,
I promised if I saw you again,
My words would swoon you,

Blood rushing,
Hands sweaty,
My eyes are steady,
I saw you again as my friend said,
It was daytime but you still had a spotlight,
If you weren't an angel id die at your sight,
Low self-esteem,
My friend boosted me,
Sucked up my fears my wish is here,
I approached you admitted I was scared,
Of your beauty i know it's immature,
It made you laugh,
Loving your smile,
I heard you speak,
Gosh it was silky sweet,
You were about to leave,
Thats when I asked,
Hesitation,
Wobbly knees,
Damnit! I could barely speak,
I asked for your number, how did I speak!
You turned,
Thoughts racing,
Veins pulsating,
Your eyes I think I died in them,
You gave me a reply but I couldn't hear,
Should I be Relieved?
Maybe I should feel sad?
I still don't know your answer,
Gave you a cool smile,Maybe it was awkward,
Watched you walk away
Sudden sadness,
Friends reassurance,
I still remember your name,
Your the angel that got away....

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
