Love Poem: Very Nearly

Very Nearly

It was a strange turn of affairs
We had seen each other a few times
In the local pub
Spoken a couple of times
In the street
She was attractive
No, not attractive
Absolutely gorgeous
Way out of my league
So I thought,
She had taste
She had style
And, the body of a goddess
Then, out of a clear blue sky,
Actually it was night time,
She held my hand
Squeezed it gently
I turned
Looked into her eyes,
Suddenly I saw 
And that was it
Pow!
I was
Smitten
Bewitched
Besotted
So, 
It really was,
Very nearly,
Love at first sight
