It seemed I got it all wrong
The very moment I met you;
When I saw you wearing blue
Matching your electric eyes.
You flashed away from me so quickly
Dancing through the soft neon signs
As I tried to memorise you, not really
Sure I could ever forget your magic.
It occurred to me a bit late
How you had bewitched me;
For simply being the bright
Light this dark world hides.
I'm still mourning those first seconds
Of joy you brought to me that night
All my current days are the same old
Image, filled with less radiant beauty.

A/N: Okay so, for some odd reason, I haven't written a long free verse poem like this one quite a while because I'm trying my hand with micro poetry and have written a lot of them for the past two years. I mostly use WriteCo app for those and started in Poetizer in the end of 2022(before it started to charge its poets, that is) and it has been a wild ride. It has definitely opened my eyes to different styles, ways to tell stories and has helped me make new friends through writing poetry. I usually write my poems in one sitting anyway if I have the story that needs to be told and this one is very close to my heart. It's a bit dauting to fall in love in a go, quickly and with no warning signs but it's thrilling, isn't it? Well, it's the beauty of life and whenever or however you experience it, I hope it's really soulsoothing and makes you happy. (:
With love,
M.
