Meeting you

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.
