I am the lucky girl.
I was courted and pursued.
Intrigued and even impressed.
I fell victim to the ever-classic
"love at first sight."
(Which I will tell you,
is most certainly everything
you dream it will be.)
I took a sudden deep breath -
My pulse began to quicken -
Shyness flushed my cheeks -
And all I could tell myself,
was to not let this one go.
I replay our first moments together -
Like a woman's favorite love scene -
And can barely believe
that fairy-tale girl is me!
Our first kiss has lasted us
longer than a year by now.
This fairy-tale seems never-ending.
I dedicate this to all lovers
because it happened to me.
When my hope had all but left me,
Through the times when he should leave me,
My heart is suddenly flushed full
of that unmistakable emotion.
Tonight let the one you love know -
That she is the most beautiful reason for breathing -
Or that he is the only answer to every lonely night's prayer -
Let them know.
For every second of a wasted thought
Or a fleeting doubt
Can be filled timelessly with your first kiss.
And you, too, can be the lucky girl.
