the first day i saw you
well it wasn't really the first,
but there was not another time
that i truly looked into your eyes
heard your voice
felt your heart
and knew that i loved you.

you were wearing a blue button-down shirt
that hugged your body so perfectly,
black dress pants
that you were constantly complaining didn't
have pockets.
your socks didn't match, one green and one pink,
but you didn't care.
so young and carefree.

you were beautiful,
though i suppose you still are.
yes, even more so now.
so beautiful.

we were at the coffee shop
down the street
though i can't remember what it was called.
they knew us by name, one of those places you can just
order "the regular"
and they'll add it to your tab.

you were laughing, drinking coffee
we were having so much fun,
and out of nowhere time froze
and it was only us
me and you
our eyes, our hearts, our love.

that was so long ago...
do you remember?
