That Fateful Night

From across the room our eyes first met;
You were talking to the party’s host.
Immediately I knew I would never forget
This beauty who enticed me the most.
An arrow pierced me from cupid’s ghost.

Upon my approach, your smile encouraged me;
Yet, robbed me of my well rehearsed words.
Your sweet “Hello”, was received so strikingly;
A more beautiful song never sung by a bird.
My awkwardness must have seemed so absurd.

How ever your heart I dared make my conquest,
I assure you, I cannot comprehend.
All night I knew I had to give it my best
And until won I would never end.
I fell in love with you; then made you my friend.

I will always remember that fateful night,
As the evening my lost soul was saved.
As soon as you came into my sight,
I knew my life’s path was now paved;
And ever since, I’ve been well behaved.
