The First Time

Sounds will be sharper and keener,
and tastes have a fresh new appeal,
aromas will drift like the first breath of spring
and all colours be vivid and real; 
each of my senses will shiver and shift
in the wind like the eddying sand,
and I knew that my heart had at last found its haven  
the first time that I held your hand.

Being in love is being alive,how everything changes when it happens. So beautiful the way you tell it.
