It has happened
I must make it last.
The thing I thought
I'd never do,
I fell, I fell
in love with you.
In love, ahh
just the thought
is so foreign
and grossly un-like me
I want, I want
to feel you
to feel the warmth
I have been so long without
not knowing
dizzied by the drought.

So, I beg,
make it last.
Just once, for me
forget the past.
And the future too,
who really cares?
We are young
and should not hold worry
under our tongues.

To taste the fruit,
its nectar sweet
and alien, it is
so good to eat.
So taste, my dear
and simply breathe
you are my Adam
I am your Eve.

A lovely poem! Is it for anyone in particular?

Wow, I love this. What a nice poem to express the beginning of a relationship. I hope it brings all those promises to you. Love the title and the last stanza also. Great idea and usage.

This is really good! I like the way you showed hesitation at the beggining, then had the speaker "give in" to her feelings of love. Great job!

Loved it! Great expression.

Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.

Well written, great use of the Adam and Eve metaphor, and the last stanza is beautiful!  This has my vote  

Take care,
