First Date


Of that date, so many years ago, I sit and reminisce
Remembering, most vividly, the beautiful goodnight kiss.
The very moment our eyes did meet and I cannot tell you why,
My face got red, my mind went blank, and my mouth went totally dry.

I loved you then, as I do now, with no reason and no rhyme.
I knew in my heart our love would outlast smiles, and tears, and time.
When you placed loving arms around me, during our first date dance,
I knew in my heart that meeting you had not been left to chance.

And now as I sit and ponder, so many years beyond that date,
There is no doubt within my mind that our meeting was one of fate.
You appeared from out nowhere, when my world was falling apart.
You gently placed, then protected me, in the castle of your heart.

Not often enough do I tell you, how you changed my world that night,
Or how you turned life upside down and made everything seem right.
And yet all these vast years later, I still cannot tell you why,
My face gets red, my mind goes blank, and my mouth gets totally dry!
