Love At First Sight
Whenever I catch you
from the corner of my eye
acting spontaneous or silly;
I instantly flash back in time
to the moment we first met,
and I can't help but smile.
I picture you as you were
at that precise moment,
a playful, fun-loving,
soul that I knew I had to meet.
I saw you walking around the bar,
plastic swivel sticks stuck in your hair
and a huge smile lighting up your face,
and I fell in love.
Though it's been over fifty years
I'll never forget that night;
that was the night my life changed.
Your charisma was magnetic;
and drew me to you
with such a compelling force;
the only explanation
is love at first sight.
If ever a match made in heaven,
this is it.
The years have served to strengthen
that initial feeling;
locking it into my memory,
where it continues to make me smile,
and always will.
