Hopless Romantic

What do you consider fast?
When it comes to certain things?
What about when your friends at last?
Or when you see them and your heart sings?

A month or two?
Or should we go for six?
What about for a baby's coo?
And to put them into your mix?

We put these numbers on feelings
So that we can be more comfortable
So that we can sort our dealings.
And pray it won't be insufferable.

But what if you knew as soon
as you locked eyes or felt presence?
It could have been this afternoon.
Just being in their essence.

And you see a pitch white dress
with something blue, old, and new?
What if it's a simple "yes"?
And you don't need a review?

Is this being naive and blind?
Is it hopelessly romantic?
Is this my love defined?
Or am I being frantic?

But I want it and I want this
I want him and a kid.
And those feelings I can't dismiss.
Even if others forbid.

So tell me this,
As a dreamer,
Can you fall in love with a kiss?
Can I keep a good demeanor?
