Love at second sight.

 

 

You used to be a stranger, just an ordinary friend

I rarely notice you, like how you rarely notice me

We only had short conversations, barely knowing each other

And yes, we’ve been together sometimes

Yet what we have today never crossed my mind

 

Never thought that your smile,

Will be what would make me weak,

As the butterflies in my stomach started to creep

 

Never thought your voice,

 would be what I always want to hear

Like the sweetest melody that if lost,

 Will then be my biggest fear

 

Never thought that your eyes,

 will be what I wanted to look at,

That it would be where my future lies

 

Never thought that your hand,

Will be the hand that will hold me down,

The only hand that will touch me

Until forever is gone

 

 

 

And lastly, I never thought

That the stranger before,

Will then be one who will wait for me,

Walking along the aisle,

Holding on to the vow of no goodbyes

 

-          I thanked the day that made me look at you for the second time

Because it is when love had caught my sight

I totally and competely relate to this peice. we all want love and we go to the ends of the Earth searching for it, but in all reality love is in our backyard. we need to open up our mind and our hearts to new possibilites and love will just creep in. thanks for sharing this.!

It seems that you have a bad impression of love..
you seem to speak more how love can weaken you, instead of how it can keep you in high spirits or have a partner forever..
Even in the forth&fifth stanza, "future lies" and "hold me down" give me a sense of uneasiness & obstruction respectively..

Nicely written!

Love at second site, or maybe love when we pay attention. I always believe that love is all around us but we refuse to see it because it isn't packaged the way we envision love to be. It is our own idealism that blocks us from love most of the time. This is special write it is truly good!

Nice, sentimental write. Great transition from strangers to lovers and brilliant reference to starting the relationship from the second sight!

This poem is very good. It almost tells a story along with how you came about getting to know a person. very well written.
