The curious glance

Those eyes looked across the room

Hitting me like a spotlight

Shining on my smile too

You saw my vulnerability

Looked right in at the war in my mind

I saw a man who didn’t just seem kind

And when you asked for a date

I felt the butterflies fill my stomach

But also knew I was meant to say yes

And when I did, a proverbial choir sang

Echoed the sweet nothings we’d whisper in each others ears

Your hand clasped mine and I breathe in the calm

There was a sweetness enveloping our budding romance

You smiled at me and I melted in your presence

I thanked God because I truly knew

In your arms, I found my home
