First Date
So many months and so many feelings
Why did it take so long for our first date?
I had been there hundreds of times
My stomach filled with butterflies all the same
How could seven days have pulled us so far apart?
It felt like an eternity since I saw you last
As you opened the door
Memories of that first day we met
Once again my breath taken away
Your smile brought such warmth
I could barely speak
My eyes never stopped sparkling for you
And tonight brought joyful tears
Awkward silence filled our travels
Like two kids and youthful nervousness
Glancing over at your pretty browns
Awestruck by your never-ending beauty
Arriving at a long overdue designation
We laughed and shared good times again
All the things I ever wanted were back
My baby by my side once again
Playful pictures taken when off guard
A golden span’s glow that showered your face
Like a little girl in a candy store
We toured the places from my youth
I never stopped loving you
But to tell you wouldn’t be right
The fog teased an overlook
The city skyline and a shared embrace
“Will you ever kiss me?”
Words I thought I’d never hear
Just like our first, time stood still
A long drive home and simple pastries
An exhausting chapter brought to a close
We were together again
As it was meant to be
Nothing can keep us apart
As you began to doze, I gazed upon you
Your worries gone
A peaceful angel once again
No more longing at the end of the day
I’ll always be there to say I love you
I will miss you at every moment apart
No more thoughts of first dates
No more games
Just love, trust and respect
Until we meet again
