Love At First Sight
Arriving at the restaurant
I am the friend of a friend
A stranger to most
Introductions are brief
Too many names to remember
For my overworked brain
But I smile
Make polite conversation
Feeling awkward and ill at ease
I sense someone behind me
I turn quickly
Our eyes lock
Your stare so intense
I cannot look away
I feel emotional
My heart beats faster
As I observe the passion in your eyes
I know we will be together
From opposite ends of the longest table
I feel your eyes bearing into me
The chemistry between us so powerful
The wanting in your eyes
My imagination runs wild
Each glance sending a shock through my body
I know what you’re thinking
I don’t even know your name
You smile at me, eyes twinkling
I melt
I feel warm inside
I relax in your presence
The meal is finally over
We retire to the garden terrace
Comfortable yet excited
I feel as nervous as a teen
Without hesitation
You walk slowly towards me
We start to talk, your eyes fixed solely on mine
I watch your kissable lips as you speak
My mind drifts
I smile
You smile back
Oh yes, we will be together
Standing next to your tall stature
I feel protected
Coveted and safe
You move closer
Placing your hand gently on the small of my back
You send shivers down my spine
Every hair on my body is standing to attention
Hormones on full alert
I cannot pull away from you
I don’t want to
I want you closer
As close as can be
As the music starts
You take my hand
Our bodies sway to the rhythm
Arms wrapped around my waist
Touching me
Driving me insane with desire and lust
We fit like a glove
Moving slowly to the music
Our bodies in tune
Your lips snuggle into my neck
I sigh with pleasure
The music stops
The night is ending
I do not want to say goodbye
I want this night to last forever
Leaning in towards me
For a good night kiss
Your lips touch mine
Igniting the passion between us
From that moment on
We are truly together
This night will last forever
