This is another re-post from 2000.

So this poem is about a girl, with whom I had 'secret' feelings for. Until I got the nerve to reveal them one night, I didn't know she had the same 'secret.' This girl that I wrote this poem about way back in 2000 - We're still together. She's my wife of 4 years, and we have a beautiful little girl. Imagine that

"I Remember"

I Remember the pitter-patter of the rain,
As it danced on the car roof that night.
I Remember my overwhelming nervousness,
My palms sweating and my tongue tied.

I Remember the talk and the laughter,
And all the silences in between.
I Remember exactly how you smiled that night,
As you had so many times in my dreams.

I Remember the surprise on your face,
When I finally gave into my heart.
I Remember waiting for your answer,
As we sat there in the dark.

I Remember how you looked at me,
As you so nervously gave your reply.
I Remember that last moment of silence,
As I fell deeply into your eyes.

I Remember as our bodies closened,
That feeling of long awaited bliss.
I Remember how my heart cried tears,
As our lips shared that passionate kiss.

I Remember everything about that night,
Your smile, your eyes, the smell of your hair.
And whenever our lips meet again in kiss,
Everytime...I'm taken back there.
