This Strange Emotion
The night I realized I liked you,
Your smile glittered in the moonlight.
And this strange emotion walked in
Intrudingly - without bothering to knock.
Uncharacteristic, spontaneous, and right
I rushed into your arms.
Perhaps I ran too quickly.
But I was captivated by your charms
The day I knew I was in love with you
I cried.
Because of one thing I always knew.
This strange emotion lingered and grew.
Confusion knocked, but didn't bother to wait.
He burst through the with some exciting old news:
You saw me as a child - small and innocent.
I had so much to learn.
But I've seen my share of devils
And then some.
Finally, I though, this time.
The reality sunk in.
Even still,
This strange emotion won't go.
He dines nightly by my side
And we slow dance to the light of the moon.
