Something that I read,
Reminded me of you today,
Thoughts returned
That had been buried away,
I got to thinking
Of the smile that you had,
The one that you gave me
When I was a lad,
Do you remember the walks?
When you met me from work,
Do you remember the rose?
I felt such a jerk,
Do you remember the spark?
Shared between me and you,
That magnetic aura?
Do you remember? I do,
I remember I took my dads car,
And drove down the street,
To the place where we said,
That you and I would meet,
I remember your face lit,
By the streetlight above,
I remember trying to stop myself
Falling in love.

You gave me that smile,
The one that said so much,
My heart banging inside,
You were close enough to touch,
We drove to the beach,
To a quiet hotel bar,
We sat and had drinks
While a guy played guitar,
When I looked in your eyes
Breath got stuck in my chest,
When I was with you,
I felt truly blessed,
You rocked my world
To foundation and core,
Your beauty, your presence,
I simply adore,
I wish that I'd told you,
I wish that I'd said,
All the feelings of love
That whirled through my head,
But I didn't say anything,
How typically me,
If I had, this could have been
A different story.
