I don't think you forget the day You meet the love of your life...
I don't believe that yearning disappears
It stays
It's deepens a part of you that can't be withdrawn
And you succumb to this withdrawal
To being totally overtaken and consumed by this love...

I remember it so clearly...
Our eyes met and I recall his were filled with mischief
While mine glowed with an air of bewilderment at this treasure I had found...

I don't think you forget the feeling of falling in love

Ever so softly
You let yourself collapse into love's arms

And that is precisely what I did...
On meeting, I had fallen into his arms
Gratitude to my 6 inch heels I hadn't imagined being that uncomfortable...

But he caught me, ever so swiftly...

And I don't think you can forget such a violent heated meeting
Smiling up at him
At his charming smile
Due to the fact that he just saved you from utter disaster and embarrassment...

Oh, but I embark on this journey...
Of love...
Of this meeting that has led us so far
And I embrace this love
Wholeheartedly
Nothing could compare to such a feeling
Of love
Of us
Of he and I


You see...
I don't think that feeling ever disappears
After the first meeting.
For me, it has grown ever since
My love for him
And I yearn
For it to continue on and on...
