From the moment I met you, I loved you.
I just didn't know it yet.
I yearned, in denial, to be near you.
To catch a glimpse of your smile,
Cradle your laugh in my abstract mind.
A foreign drug I'll never forget.

Then, the explosion of passion, intense.
A release I'd never known.
Crash from one place to the next, electric.
The sparks your fingers trailed,
Still resonate through my head daily.
The roots have planted, the love has grown.
