From a distance

Love at first sight is amazing

From a distance

The minute you walked in the room

I could tell you were my husband to be

Something in the way you moved

Caused a reaction in me

You walked with a swagger

Dressed so refined

Yes I knew in that instant

That you would be mine

From across the room

Cupid hit be hard

My destiny unfolding

It was in the cards

Butterflies in my stomach

Feeling light on my feet

I was speechless as I felt

My heart skip a beat

I was giddy as a schoolgirl

When you walked down the aisle

You turned towards me and

Flashed a bright smile

Closer and closer you came

Right in front of me

You asked my name

I opened my mouth

Yet I could not speak

Suddenly I thought I felt

Your hand on my cheek

Jolted back to reality

It was my own hand I had felt

You were still across the room

I thought I would melt

By Belinda Fewings on Unsplash

It was all in my mind

Just my imagination

Oh the shame of itall

Despair and degredation

How foolish of me

You had not even turned my way

Still, I know I felt

True love on that day

From a distance

And so far apart

I fell for you and

You captured my heart
