Let me tell you a tale
Of love at first sight
Between Eric and Gale
And Cupid’s arrow strike
It be modern day
The daylight did fade
Eric on his way
For a cab he was waiting
Night fell and cooled the land
In a cab he did hop
Not knowing what fate planned
Arriving by nine and in line he didn’t stop
With clap of the hands as he paid the man
Music booming and base dropping
He entered the scene of destiny’s plan
Weaving through bodies, dancing and hopping
Entering he waited for the bodies to untangle
A path to the bar formed, cold beer was calling
Perched on a stool adorn by all, sat an angel
From heaven, she must have fallen
Music muted and heart in his throat
Our hero frozen, feet planted in place
Admiring the angel, removing her peacoat
She held no lack of grace
Surrounded by suitors
Smiling polite, not one held her interest
Regarding them no higher than looters
She rejected their advances and insists
A breeze engulfed the club
Cupid appeared, ready to execute his plan
No one noticing the mischievous cherub
Spying Gale he strung his arrow, upon her it did land
Towards our hero, her eyes did turn
She looked to him instead of through
Rising from her seat, his cheeks began to burn
Ignoring all other advances, she bid them ado
Our hero in awe
Now starting to panic, she was coming towards him
The most beautiful being he had ever saw
His knees began to buckle, looking down he curse those limbs
Dipping his head in fear
Waiting for her to pass, her motive unclear
To his regret she stopped there
Looking to him as though no one else were near
Looking up, met by golden brown eyes
His heart beat louder than the music inside
Her red lips began to move, his heart rate began to rise
Thumping so hard he felt he might die
She smiled as she spoke
Lost in her grace our hero felt drunk
Her eyes showing interest before her heart broke
Our hero being speechless as her features sunk
Looking sad with defeat, his angel turned away
Her angel-like glow had begun to fade
Realizing his mistake, he looked for the right words to say
For her hand he did reach, coming to her aid
Catching her silken hand in his, holding his breath in desperation
Swallowing his heart beat and preparing to speak
She turned back to him in shock and admiration
She looked to fragile in this moment, small and meek
He spoke and gave her breath
She smiled again, the rest is history
The won’t part again, until death
That is how we became the Montgomery’s
