The Square Root of 784
For the first time in my life,
I think I have fallen in love.
Your happy outlook makes you so inviting.
With you, I actually feel comfortable.
Something about you makes it feel right.
I can say I have never felt like this before.
Here I am at the age of twenty-eight.
I was beginning to believe there was no one for me.
“Someone for everyone” seemed to be a lie.
However, here you are with me.
It wasn’t too late for me after all.
Well, it looks as if we have made a connection.
All the pieces of the puzzle fit together nicely.
This time, you will not get away.
I want you with me forever.
