When I fell

When I saw you, I fell in love and you smiled because you knew - Verdi

———————————————

When I saw you
Standing there across the street
With a bouquet in your hands
I fell in love with you then.

Or maybe I had been taking steps towards
Love this whole time
With the secret smiles
The holding tight of my hand
The walks and wordless conversations.

But today I fell
Without any ropes
No way of turning back.
You smiled at me
And the world turned to gold.

It was nothing big
Nothing completely special
Just the way
You bought me flowers
When I was feeling low
And I realised I couldn't live without you.

You crossed the street
And came to me
And took me into your arms.
"You love me," you said.
I nodded into your neck.
"And you love me," I murmured.

You laughed and pulled back
"Aren't we just meant to be?"
You handed me the flowers,
Took my spare hand
And smiled at me because you knew.
