Love a First Sight- Part Two
On my own, going it alone, ****, drugs lots of drink,
Then, tail end of '84 you came along and made me think,
You didn't see me, it was all set, an uphill struggle,
I tucked in under the radar, hiding in my self made muddle.
At every turn you'd find me smiling, but not high,
Oh Hi! I always just happened to be passing by,
I knew you needed time, you didn't see me that way,
I remember afterwards, one of your friends even thought I might be gay.
Luckily you were unsuspecting a little bit dope-pay,
Thank God! All the time I was plotting how to get my way,
By stealth, certainly not wealth, by perseverance and cunning sly,
And yet, you didn't notice, I'd always be passing by.
Poco poco, wins the day, slowly, slowly keeping the game in play,
Then, by " reading this book " by " going to see that play ",
I crept in; waiting for my chance to make hay.
And soon enough the Sun shone, I'd elbowed myself to the front, all the competition was gone,
Having be-friended your best friend and crept closer to your heart,
I waited and waited for an opportunity to start,
Weeks of patience suddenly spring to fruition,
Your friend called a spaghetti party, wine and nutrition.
Few invitations, the space being somewhat small,
I endured, guests left, early hours and coffee called,
What fortune! No milk a search party left, just you and I remained,
You dozed; I watched, excited, one eye closed; I feigned.
I'd slumped, cleverly, close to your resting head,
Poco, poco I slid, almost imploding, full of dread,
Your smile, beautiful,your relaxed angelic face,
Closer and closer, my heart at an explosive pace.
It was now, all or nothing, do or die, hit or miss,
Slowly, hardly breathing I pressed in for a kiss,
My body almost stopped, hesitating my advance off the boil,
I was scared, rejection expecting your recoil.
No, your lips awoke, responding, replying kissing back to mine,
The moment transformed, happiness, joy, love divine,
That was a seal, a bond welding an image so fine,
I knew, I saw every fibre sublime,
Our love was found, yours me and you mine.
