When I Knew For Sure
I knew I loved you when nothing else made sense
When you paraded around in my mind making me smile
When I spent class time writing names of our children
I knew I loved you when you turned those hazel eyes on me
And gave me the kind of look I had not seen
Since my first day on earth when my parents looked at me
I knew I loved you when I stopped seeing other faces
When I began lying to everyone else about being busy,
Because I was holding all my time open for your phone call.
I knew I loved you when I stopped hating you
For telling Miss Kneeland in first grade that you were
Going to grow up and marry me.
You somehow helped me eliminate twelve years of hate.
I guess that is when I really knew for sure….
