The Day my Life Began

I remember so clearly, all the scents and sounds

All the fear and anticipation, awaiting your arrival

People rushing by, several wearing gowns

Heightened my senses, my feelings were primal

***

Anxiety rose quickly as our first meeting drew near

Nervous feet tapping rhythm, as the clock passed eight

I stared at the door, my heart filled with fear

As the hands on that clock, said you were late

***

Questions sought answers in my worried haze

Would I be the man, the one you deserved?

Could I give all you need, the rest of your days?

Your love for me, would have to be earned

***

I’d been speaking to you, for months, everyday

Telling my truth and even singing you to sleep

But this was different; there was nothing in our way

Face to face for the first time, we would meet

***

Someone came and got me, I don’t remember who

They took me to meet you, my legs feeling weak

My fears went away quickly, when my eyes found you

Your beauty overwhelmed me, words I couldn’t speak.

***

I walked towards you, with the future in my mind

My love growing stronger as you accepted my arms

I held you close, feeling your heart next to mine

Knowing the rest of my life, I’d protect you from harm

***

It was a cold winter day, when my true life began

The first time I saw you, my soul was made right

The first day I held, my daughter in my hands

Was the day I believed, in Love at First Sight.
