The Introduction was trivial
compared to your entrance
into my world--the way how
everything just disappeared
and all I could see is you walking
towards me.
It seemed as if everyone around
me suddenly stopped talking
and every motion was slow motioned
just for me to get that first look;
that first impression--I was speechless--
Man, that was priceless!
And when you took me into your embrace,
taking my breath away with that first kiss--
Ooh, that was bliss!
And since that day five years ago;
that famous intro you do--
I have to say, "You the man!"
Because I swear, when I look at you,
everything just disappears, all I see is you my dear,
and everyone around me suddenly stops talking
just so I can get that first look; that first impression
and every motion is slow motioned.

I remember when there was a time that
you would look at me and my heart would smile,
and I was told, "That is how you know he loves you..."
When your heart smiles.

I remember when I think back on the times when all
I had to do was just think of you and there I go grinning,
feeling giddy and warm like sunshine;
yet I've not felt that in such a long time.

Where did all that go and will I ever get it back,
do you know?  Instead, my heart stopped smiling
and I don't have that grin, that giddiness or
feel warm like sunshine anymore.

Where I'm at it's dark, cold and confined.
I watched you from a distance and saw your
face no more, but I'll always remember those
moments we've shared together and watch
over you from beyond the nethers;

help you to keep alive those feelings of
when your heart smiles, the giddiness
and the warmth of sunshine until
the stars die out; until time erases time.
