Annoyed at First Sight

I saw you, and I sighed,
With a glare I tried to hide.
"Who’s this person?" I thought with a frown,
In a crowded room, you turned me down.  

You laughed too loud, your smile so bright,
I rolled my eyes, not wanting the light.
But as we talked, the fun started to show,
Annoyance faded; my heart said, “Let’s go.”  

So maybe first glances aren’t all that they seem,
Sometimes annoyance hides a new dream.
In the moments we clash, something strong may ignite,
From annoyed at first sight to love that feels right.

If this isn't the 'Comeback of the Year,' I don't know what is, Frank! Bravo! ~ Gershon

Thank you, Gershon! Your comment made me chuckle. If my poem is the “Comeback of the Year,” then your feedback is definitely the “Comment of the Year”! Seriously though, I appreciate your kind words and support. It means a lot coming from you. Best, Frank
