Love is When

I wonder if you'd like this... Find out! :-) A short poem about love at first sight and the growth it begins.

Love is When…

Love is when you see him for the first time in a coffee house,

Sitting at his laptop.

A steaming cup to his right,

And his chin resting on one hand.

Love is when you build the courage you need,

Just to say ‘hello.’

His eyes light up and he smiles,

“Would you like to sit?”

Love is when the hours pass,

And you don’t even notice.

Surrounded by the noise in the restaurant,

Together on your very first date.  

Love is when you notice the little things:

From his awkward smiles,

Intense stares,

And silly faces.

Love is when he meets your family.

When he shakes your father’s hand,

Kisses your mother’s cheek,

And doesn’t mind your incessant younger siblings.

Love is when he sings to you.

Laughter fills the air as his voice jumps in pitch.

But he doesn’t care,

Because he only wants to see you smile.

Love is when he pulls a small, velvet box from his pocket,

And gets down on one knee.

“I’ve already asked your parents permission,” he explains,

“Will you do me the incredible honor of marrying me?”

Love is when you can’t help but let a tear slide from your eye,

As you walk down the aisle holding your father’s arm.

Your loved ones sit all around,

To encourage you as you start a new journey.

Love is when you grow old together.

Picking up the pieces when things fall apart.

Being a lover and a friend,

Nothing short of the end.
