When I First Saw You April 4

When I First Saw You There 
When I first saw you there
You came to me 
In a dream 

And disappeared,
Haunting me 
For eight long years.
When I First Saw You In Person
I was overwhelmed
This fairy tale dream of mine
This impossible quest
To find the girl in the dream
Was finally over.

She was real,
And she was here.
In front of me.

When I First Spoke With You 

I knew that this was it
We would be together
From then on

You were the one,
I proposed three days later.
When I First Kissed You 
When I first kissed you
that was the beginning
Of a 40- year love affair.

When I Married You
That was the beginning 
Of my life
From that moment

I had no doubt
Whatever life brought my way,
You would be there 

In the end 
That is all that matters.
