First Impression Poem by Layla Norman

When i first met you
my breath caught
and i wondered
what you thought

I wanted to claim you
to say you were with me
but i never thought
that could ever be

I thought you'd see through me
and ignore me completely
so it was a great shock
when you treated me so sweetly

You weren't what i expected
you are so much more
and i think that's one reason
it's you i adore

I remember you there
staring in the fire
and to say i didn't fall then
would make me a liar

I wanted to see you
as often as i could
but i never thought
that i really would

But i saw you again
and i took a chance
to be with you
and start a romance

And the more i was with you
the more i could tell
that i really did fall
under your spell.

I hoped you felt it
and wanted it too-
to want me exclusively
like i wanted you

Then you asked something
that made my heart dance
did i want a summer fling
or a long term romance?

I wanted you long term
and i have to say
when you finally asked me
was my happiest day!
