Remembering the first moment I met my husband in person. 1989 23+years ago after having talked to him for 3 months over the phone I knew I was in love!
I stop short
For fear I’ll say too much
My heart pounds
With the reverberating thoughts
How much should I tell you
So much I want to say
But you may laugh
And turn yourself away
Your eyes hold me
A prisoner under water
Your face unreadable
I’m at a loss for words
Speechless and in disarray
I hold my tongue until tomorrow
Hoping to get another chance
To tell you that it is you I love

your poems always express emotions so perfectly and so beautifully. the nerves of a first meeting and the worry that you might say too much too soon… all that is clear here.
but we all know the story has a happy ending
that is so true, although the ending to gwtw was wonderful too…
awwwwwwwwwww youre such a romantic
weren’t you going to post an alternative ending?
it was a perfect ending to a perfect film. it may not have been the most romantic but it was true to their characters
Thank you for the beautiful poem of love.
Wonderful…as is the portrait of the two of you falling in love!
Your sense of being loved seemingly has exploded. It’s awesome.
Been posting more than reading. I’m way behind.
Me too!
