Very Nearly a Love Poem

We haven’t known each other 
For too long it must be said
Though I think you’re jolly lovely
From your toes up to your head
Your face is somewhat pretty
And your dress sense rather chic
I enjoy our conversations
And the charming way you speak
Those pretty eyes beguile me
That smile makes my legs shake
I’m even losing sleep, what’s
Going on for goodness sake 
My dearest please believe me
For all I’ve said is true
And it will not be too long 
Until I fall in like with you

I think you've gone far beyond "like," John. Surely one who makes your legs shake and causes you to lose sleep is a great love. Congratulations on your win! Love, Carolyn

funny, when my husband and I were dating he told me it was love at first site and I said thank you. He said later I knew you loved me so I wasn't worried. I waited s while before I let him know I loved him too.
