I feel a poetic fondness
When thinking back a year ago today
I could barely find time to breath
(It's true, your beauty had me breathless)
But because we talked incessantly.
Of music and food and every word
Tumbling out of your sweet lips
Made me more and more attracted
Until you were at my house
And we sat watching funny videos
On the couch as I nervously
Wanted to kiss you.
There was a moment
Or twelve, of course,
Where I thought that's what you wanted too...
Yet I waited until you had to leave
For three long weeks.
And there on my porch
Late in the night
I pulled you back from walking out of my life
And I kissed you.
