Love At First Sight

I see him as I walk in He’s teasing and joking With an Asian girl Losing to him in a game of pool She walks away angry Throwing a dollar bill at his feet He jokes about his drinking His mother calls him an alcoholic So he might as well drink I come up to him Don’t think that way He sits with us at our table Enjoying a conversation A Girlfriend and I are having I looked into his sky blue eyes And ask him to kiss me Like melting wax on a candle as it is burning I vanish into his kiss What has gotten into me? I've never done this before? I am shocked at my actions That I would ask for a kiss From a man I didn't know For I've never cheated On a partner before I laid in bed still feeling His burning kiss on my lips Never to see him again A week goes by I get a call asking me out I asked where did you get my number A little bird just happened to give it to me Thirty Three years later I'm still with him Feeling his burning kiss on my lips © Written By Eve Roper 9/12/2014
