I Met My Love

I met my love before the dawn
But all we did was nod and yawn.
As sleepy hearts of love can’t speak
So we, more rest did seek.

I met my love to break our fast
But quickly so our time did pass.
When leaving she gave me her smile
Which held me for awhile.

I met my love as it was noon
And sang for her a cheerful tune.
A kiss she gave me on the cheek
That made my knees go weak.

I met my love as evening came.
Undying love I did proclaim.
She fell into my warm embrace.
Our breath, our hearts did race.

I met my love beneath the moon
To vow that we would be wed soon.
Her life, her fate she joined to mine
Eternally entwined.

Thanks! I usually write songs. It's interesting not thinking in terms of melody.
