I Knew He'D Make It Last Poem by TayShea Simmerman

THE MINUTE I SAW HIM
I LIKED THE WAY HE LOOKED
HE DIDN'T HAVE TO SAY A THING
I KNEW THAT I WAS HOOKED

HE WAS TALL AND HANDSOME,
WITH A SMILE HE COULDN'T HIDE
I COULDN'T EVEN LOOK AWAY
HE MELTED ME INSIDE

HE SMILED AND INTRODUCED HIMSELF
I LOOKED INTO HIS EYES
I COULDN'T FIND THE WORDS TO SPEAK
TOO MANY BUTTERFLIES

MY LEGS WERE SO UNSTEADY
MY HEART WAS BEATING FAST
I KNEW I COULD LOVE HIM
AND WE COULD MAKE IT LAST

THE MINUTE I SAW HIM,
PAST HEARTACHES WERE ALL MENDED
HE DIDN'T HAVE TO SAY A THING
MY SEARCH FOR LOVE HAD ENDED
