I remember like it was yesterday
The effect you had on me
When I first saw your face
Etched it into my memory.
How I felt to know that you noticed me.
What I thought when I saw your smile
making our encounter that much more worthwhile.
A feeling of contentment
Amazed at even my near perfect senses
Rooting me to the spot,
senseless
Leaving me to feel an unwelcome suspense
Making reality that much more relevant
Should I approach you?
With my confidence; Strong & Proud
Or do I stand by and hope you'll see me.
Being coy, even shy, or bashful...
and YES, sometimes I can be.
Is that just a once in a lifetime feeling?
Or are you that one for me?
Will you light up my world?
Or shatter me, almost instantly?
Let me be honest,
It was your smile that captured me,
Drew me in, took me there...
BUT
I had to wonder
Could I trust you enough to care
Would you cherish and protect me?
Are you my one and only?
Will you stand true to your word?
Is it you that's meant to be?
They way your eyes shine
The boldness I sensed in your stride
Gave me the courage I gathered to pursue you
easing the pressure of needing you to be mine!
Your intellect,
your deviousness
the swagg
the subtle bit of anger and pain within.
And let's not forget your brilliance of mind.
I felt almost unworthy
Skeptical, even, if I could fir into your world.
Thinking to myself a challenge worth the wait
or feelings too ready to meet.
Am I ready to fall in love?
Ready to commit to to a future with you?
To give myself away?
Yes....I am willing to better my life, my chances, and my happiness, with YOU!
You are more than my treasure,
more than the value of money, or fame.
Better than the best chocolates and wine
You are my everything, my all.
You give me new hope,
Allow me to see things with a new set of eyes...
Expressing my heart, sharing my all,
completely giving in.
With you, I choose to start new.
Riding this out,
til the end, begins again.
Fate gave you to me as a gift
that will reign, & constantly rule!
Allowing us to move, to drift.
Be it this life or the next,
you're my guest to conquer
To invest in and follow through.
To no end,
to no avail,
through rain sleet snow or hail.
My heart says what's known to be true,
and that it's you, and will forever be YOU!!!!
