The Start Of Something New

(For the 'My Sappy Love Story competition)  
 
I remember seeing you
It was like the sky gave way to the stars
You hit me with that smile
Making your way into my heart
 
We started out as friends
But even that started to grow
I felt drawn to you, I let you get close
I decided to let my feelings show
 
I remember getting that feeling
That I didn’t want us to be apart
I guess it took us time to see
That we were in love from the start
 
I never knew how amazing it would feel
To be with someone like you
I didn’t understand how you could love me
I thought it was too good to be true
 
I remember going a day without you
That day was difficult and foreign  
On that day, I came to a realization
That I truly needed you
 
Your name is so sweet
Your voice is so pure
At night we lay together, and you hold me tight
I’ve never felt
So safe and secure
 
I never believed in love at first sight
Until I laid my eyes upon you
 
I remember your shy eyes meeting mine
It was like an entire galaxy opened up
And poured into my heart
 
In your eyes
I felt my entire soul ignite
Being with you
Has never felt so right
 
I was never one to feel those butterflies
Until you put your hand in mine
Your simple touch put me at ease
And will continue to for the rest of time
 
I feel safe around you
I find comfort in your laughter
I truly and wholeheartedly believe
That you’re my happily ever after
 
I never seemed to have that lump in my throat
Unless I speak your name
It’s quite interesting because
You also feel the same
 
If I could do anything
I’d turn back the clock
So I could fall in love with you
All over again
 
Forever and always
Seemed to jinx things
So we’ll take the time that we have left
And spend it together
 
I’ve told you before
And I’ll tell you again
It doesn’t matter what happens
I’ll love you until the end
