i remember the first time i saw love.
at first i thought what we had was innocent,
but i was really into it.
love's smile was as bright as the sun.
he made my heart melt into rain drops.
after many hours of splashing fun,
i thought that day was done.
and on that day i had known that,
love arrived.

here are some things to describe love:
love had long brown shaggy hair.
love's hands fit into hockey gloves,
better than his hand in mine.
he adored hockey more than he adored me.
i feel inclined as to call him mine.
when i knew that he was not my own.
if only i had known,
not to get so attached.
and on that day i had known that,
love arrived.

love wasn't the smartest boy in class.
nor was he the one with the most class.
but that's what made him so beautiful.
love did not have to get straight a's and b's  to be insightful.
but when he was in my sight i became full.
he made me complete.
completely head over heels for him
and on that day i had known that,
love arrived
