| When Did I First Love You? When did I first love you? Was it the moment our eyes met for the first time? Did you feel the tug on your heart strings as I did on mine? Was it when you smiled at me?-- a smile I recognized From many lifetimes together... I knew in an instant that you were the one I had been searching for... There was no need to get to know you, For I had known you through all eternity. I loved you with an all consuming fire that was so bright That I turned away, afraid of being burned... Afraid to love you so much... Afraid of being hurt... And in doing so, every desire that I carefully doused With cold gray rationality had almost been put out Until... I saw you again. And in that moment, the tiny flame that had been flickering In my buried memory Was fanned to life in an instant!- The instant I looked into your eyes - and knew "Dear God, I am not dead - but alive!" And with my heart beating so fast I could scarcely breathe, I gave my love, my heart, my soul... Back to you. |
