The Day I Met You

The day I met you; I wish I could recall The way my cheeks turned red When you turned your smiling head. I’m sure there was a tingle Rushing down my spine As your gaze fell upon me, Your eyes meeting mine. You held out a stately hand, I took it without haste I couldn’t bring myself to speak, Yet a moment I could not waste. Just to think of your strong hand Wrapping gently ’round my own The warmth of you surrounding me, My zeal for you full-grown. If only I could remember The way you spoke my name How magical you made it sound, The way my heart did pound! Ah, the day I met you: I wish I could recall . . . But, alas, it seems I’ve met you only in my dreams.
