I can still remember
those very first moments
that were so tender,
on that first day
when our eyes met
and I stole
that first kiss,
and it was
at that moment
that I knew that
I couldn't miss.

It was just
the right season,
and we both had
the right reason,
so we took hold
of each other
and haven't let go
eighteen months later.

 Our lips met
within an hour,
and neither of us
felt any sorrow
just relief
and hope for
a strong tomorrow.

It was a meeting
that was long overdue
and for both of us,
it felt so good
because neither 
 had any reason
to be blue.

It was scary at first,
but we soon
found out
that we both had
that same thirst
for a real love
with no falseness
or lies and
a relationship that
had strong ties.

We soon realized
it was a first
for each of us
to feel so right,
as we got lost
into the night.

Eighteen months later
and I stll
miss her
when she is gone
for the day
and I still don't
know what
to say
when I see her
except
"I love You."

We still embrace
as if we were
just starting
the race,and
to this day
we both still
wonder if this
is real because
we are so happy  
neither of us
has to steal love
anymore
and we are so
sure of the way
we feel.            Jon York   2011
