I saw you the other day
standing in the corner
shyly I looked away

I rapidly hurried on by
hoping you wouldn't follow me
your presence reminded me
of the shocker my sister-in-law shared 7 years ago
that I still haven't quite absorbed

I never gave it a second thought
or even dreamed how it would affect me
when she told me how you felt
until..seven years passed on by being today
when I saw you standing there smiling at me

perhaps I never saw this before
all I could do was smile and turn away
you moved your lips as if to speak
but I continued on hoping to get away

I never had such a problem like this
but..all of a sudden when it came to you
I totally froze, I became helpless
my heart-rate was rapidly going wild
my pulse was out of control
the tingling I felt touched every inch of my soul

it became much worse
when I heard your footsteps
following right behind, whispering my name
and touched me on my shoulder

a nervous wreck I was
I was unable to converse very well
I was hoping you were unable to tell
it wasn't until that day that I felt like this

when I stared up deeply into your green eyes
as you told me how you felt
back then and has continued today
you mesmerized my every thought

I didn't know what to say
my lips quivered when I spoke
your touch melted me away
when you softly brushed my hair aside
when the breeze blew it in my face

when you walked me to my car I felt like I was floating on a cloud
you applied a gentle kiss upon my lips w/o locking them into mine

what made me feel like this?
could it be?
am I falling in love w/my brothers best friend?

you patiently said, I will wait
and told me it is me you want
I told you it was all too new
let me give it some thought

we promised to meet at the park behind the armory
to talk about how you felt
and to see about me
you blew me a kiss as I drove away and waved good-bye......

let me tell you now
before someone else does
after seeing you today
your presence, your touch and that sweet tender kiss did something to me

I'd be honoured to be in your life..
I found out today how much
I want you in mine
here is to your other reply,me too...
I Love You!
