failure complete

i've thought long,
hard, and often,
about what to say
when i meet you.
no words seem adequate,
no sentiment exact.
i want to convey
the awe i was in before you arrived,
how excited i've
been to see your face.
i can't help but wonder -
is your laugh lyrical?
is your cry grating or
beautiful?
is your nose Polish?
in what way
will i
ruin
your life?
