The First Time I Saw You

The first time that I Saw you, I could not Find the right words To say What I felt so deeply Within my heart which Outwardly on my face Was now displayed For the first moment When I saw you, my My mind was no longer Mine Finding as the seconds Passed by quickly I found myself losing All track of time I knew I would need You near me, for it, felt Like I would surely fall And I was no longer the Same person, for at the First glimpse of you I Was falling in love I wanted to elude you And time after time I would surely try For I never wanted to To end up like a leaf, Falling down from a Tree branch up high But you have captured My fallen heart and Your love would simply Not let me be I tried so hard to keep Away from you, but our Meeting was forsworn By destiny For the longer, I tried To stay far away, the Deeper would become my Inner blues And I found it harder to Stay away because day and Night I only thought of you And the realization Finally embraced me, Informing my heart Of its helpless plight That only one option Would be available to me, I had to embrace your Love To end my sleepless nights And I sought you out The next day diligently With a fervent hope I Could make you believe That there would never Be happiness in my life Without your love always Being a part of me. April 1977, written During the first week I saw and met My wife.
