Old love

The poem is about the struggle between the heart and the nerves to speak to a person , faced by a person when he falls in love and the changes which happen after the two people get together.

She walked past by him in the corridor,

Where he experienced his heart soar

for the first time in his life had he felt the shakes

His mind couldn't stop him from falling in love

failing to apply the emergency brake.
He was aware of the aftermath of love,

His brother once told him, "once you fall in it, it's difficult to rise above"

Her captivating eyes sparkled like the moonlight,

His heart knew no more what was wrong and what was right.

He was not in control of his senses anymore,

Whenever he saw her, he let his heartfelt emotions pour

To his friends, who supported him and help him fight his nerves

And tell him that he is the guy she truly deserves.

He mustered up the little courage he had and went to talk to her

And was spellbound by her sweet voice

Everything was blurred, He tried to say his name, he had no choice.
She  smiled at him while he introduced himself

He thought to himself "this could be heaven,this could be hell"

He stopped talking,with shaky arms

She thrust her hand forward, he felt her lovely palm.

They had many things in common,soon to discover

That they had endless nights to talk, endless topics to cover.

They walked together and were oblivious of time,

Twenty years later, he read this poem to his children with a smile

saying "That's how we met,your mother and I."

This was a very sweet read. I love when love blossoms. I like that you had the courage to admit the trepidation you felt in first meeting her. It is so true to life. Thank you for sharing. - Dave
