when i first saw you
my heart fluttered
it leaped with joy and tried to fly to your own
begging you to tug back
begging you to spark the same flame that my heart ignited
and when it did
and i bore my story into your eyes
we sat by coursing rivers and
let our lips murmur
we fished for the right words
searching in every corner of our hearts to try to express how we felt
that feeling of bliss
listening to the touch of the ink as you engraved your way into my heart
we were something new
we were beautiful
we danced a dance unheard of
and we filled each other with
a feeling of relief
when i looked into your eyes
i saw us lying on a couch somewhere
watching a movie after a long day
under a blanket and holding each other
it was an abstract feeling
the start of something new
and my heart was oh so
naive
