“I now believe in love at first sight. Especially after it's happened to me.”
Shefali Zariwala
I did not know
How hard love could hit
Until I met you.
From the moment
I first saw you,
Before I even
Learned your name,
I knew,
Somehow
I knew,
You were the one
Who would fill
That fallow place
In my heart
No one else
Had ever touched,
Who would bring it to life
With your smile,
Who would nourish it
With your touch,
Who would release it
And set it free
When you softly whispered
You loved me, too.
I did not know
How hard love could hit
Until the moment
I met you.
