First Date

First Date Poets Dozen Saw her beside me Eyes yearning desperately I fell instantly Perfume in hand I approached her ever so slowly Not moving too fast proceeding oh, so cautiously. After asado, and cinzano, then gelato, we took a stroll Parliamo piano, piano, love's flames started then ci vediamo Past heartbreaks revealed, nothing at all was concealed Talking quietly entranced, long, long, into the night Walking hand in hand hearts aglow with what we feel Our hearts had found their home, we just knew it was right My perception of her love's reflection, was to my heart's delight. *Asado= Argentine barbeque *Parliamo piano piano= we spoke slowly (Italian) *Ci vediamo= see you later, goodbye (Italian) First date was in Buenos Aires hence Spanish Italian references Most Portenos residents of Buenos Aires are of Italian/Spanish descent.
