How I Met You

The moment I saw you

there was a beat to your gait

I could not wait

to be closer to you

for the first time

 

Coffee was the plan

although we found ourselves

with hot chocolate in hand

 

You and I

both clad that October

in weather worn leather

jackets

 

Our eyes met

as we wondered

is this he

is this she

that I have spoken with so often

yet have yet to meet in person

 

Now before one another

we say our timid hellos

beginning a relationship

that was meant to be

a new friendship

 

Instead we have found

ourselves

enveloped over the months

with one anothers' love.

 

That first day

you walked me to my car

I wondered and wished

if it were appropriate to kiss

yet I knew it was not

and it would prove to be many

more meetings before such

a thing came to fruition.

 

All the better

a true romance

a true friendship

a true courtship

in which I have grown to know

you in a way in which I have no other

and long for noone else but you

each and every evening

and each every morn.

Very good poem as per usual! Full of wistful glances and just generally nice things. I found placing the rhythm difficult, and perhaps that's just because it's early in the morning and I am without coffee, but i think this just added to the airyness and floatiness of the whole piece. Very well done :)

[Brjden (Bridge-Den) Cre..]

Wonderfully written and "Siddartha-like" romance as I always expect.

"Instead we have found
ourselves

with one anothers' love."

You are a dream within your own poetry! I always know when I read your work that it will be drenched in
love and beautiful romance! Great write again.

and then I stop and recall the first encounters with the golden touchstones that have blessed my existance; histories we share of combined good and bad times.

A fine write!! Hope one day such a love will enter my life... but, then again... I hope ~~~

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

What a glorious piece of work... a mix of spontaneity and destiny colliding... though things may not always go the way you want in the end it leads to where you should be :-)

Ah! I know these feelings here
I liked this i can feel all the feelings
of how hard it is to know "Should I Should I not"
Like this.
