The first day I met him
was like a dream come true.
He was handsome and dashing.
His eyes shined a bright blue.
His laugh made me stop in my
tracks just to get a better listen.
When he looked my way,
oh his eyes, how they glistened.

The first date we went on
was like you see in the movies.
It had laughter and dancing
and flowers and sushi.
We held hands and hugged
and shared an ice cream cone.
It was absolutely perfect.
And then he took me home.

The first time we kissed
was just as magical as they say.
We went out for a picnic
and out under the stars we lay.
After a moment of silence
he looked at me and I at him.
And when the time was right
we both leaned in.

The first time we fought
was a hard blow to the heart.
You yelled and I cried
and completely fell apart.
When there was nothing
left to be said,
you asked for my forgiveness
with a kiss on my head.

The first time you said
the words "I love you"
my heart fluttered in my chest.
"I love you, too."
You pulled me close
and said you'd never let me go.
You told me again that you loved me.
Much more than I could ever know.
