One day long ago
There was a young girl
Who used to wonder
What love felt like
To experience such emotion
Was beyond her comprehension
Until she had almost
Given up on finding it

That was the day
She met a young boy
Who made her eyes sparkle
And her heart beat
In a way she had never known
Was humanly possible
How did he make her feel
Things she never felt before?

One look into his eyes
Left her feeling faint
Her face was flushed
A deep shade of red
On her pale cheeks
From meeting his gaze
As he passed her
By the roadside

She prayed each night
If she were lucky enough
To meet up with him again
For the courage
To say hello at least
Just the thought stirred her
From the inside out
In ways she never imagined

Then on a warm spring day
She was sitting beside the lake
Lost in the water’s reflection
Not paying attention
To her surroundings
For she was lost in thought
With visions of the boy
Who’d captured her heart

Suddenly the world
Went black before her
Someone was behind her
Covering her eyes
Whispering softly in her ear
She felt the warmth
Of their breath on her neck
The voice said “guess who”

She had no clue
Who it could be
She said in a meek voice
Half filled with hope
“The boy from the roadside?”
His reply was “yes, ‘tis me”
She could hardly believe
It was really him there

She pulled his hands away
Turning around to face him
Their eyes locked
A moment before
Their lips met
It seemed to last
For a lifetime
Taking her breath away

Nothing existed
Outside of the two
Of them
Sitting there together
Beside the cool water
Talking
Kissing
And laughing

She no longer
Wonders about love
Today
She learned
The true meaning
Of the word
Lying there
In his arms
