When you around

They say
I've a way with words
But with you around
I’m rendered speechless
A little breathless
Heart pounds in my chest
A smile resonates, full of zest
Pupils dilate, cheeks flush
Your gaze turns me
Into mush
I Fidget, fight nerves
Try to say something eloquent
End up sounding pretentious
Even embarrassingly flirtatious
Bowled over by
Your vivacity and charm
Around you the ladies swarm
Drooling over, in a hypnotic trance
I’m fully aware
That I stand no chance.
