Know This (A Book of Poetry)

It Started...

It stared with a handshake,

And ended with a hug--

With coffee stains on tables,

And your smile on a mug.

It started with a crash,

And ended with an angel--

With an overturned car,

And skin-piercing hell.

It started with a chorus,

And ended with a note--

I room full of applause,

And a cold winters coat.

It started with a scratch,

And ended with blood--

With a long leather chair,

And long scars with a moral of mud.

It started with a meow,

And ended with a friend--

Cuddles by the fire,

And plenty of warmth to lend.

It started with a dance,

And ended with a shove--

Warmth from hot-chocolate,

With the old, worn out glove.

It started with an accident,

And ended with a grin--

True love is beauty,

You can win.

It started with a smile,

And ended with a tear--

Flashback memories of your lips,

And I love you, dear.
