When I saw your face, your eyes that light up from a mile away
My heart ignited; I saw my future in your green eyes
When I saw your long blonde hair
I wanted to run my hands through it and feel its silky stream
When I saw your rosy cheeks,
I wanted to kiss it lightly, like it was mine
You stared at me then, as I fumbled for something to say
Laughing like the sound of sunlight smiling in the day
I remember now; a butterfly on your hair
It was blue, and bright, and darted around your head
Landing softly on your nose, as you smiled
I had never wanted to be a butterfly so bad
If only just to touch you for second
I brought you a coffee, vanilla latte
And we sat in the sunshine, talking about life
Our friend Sophie, was it? Slipped into your shadow
I wanted to bow at your feet
You looked like a goddess, and I loved you.
