When I Knew

You asked me when I loved you
When I ...

When I Knew

You asked me when I loved you
When I first knew I cared
You asked me what had happened
That made my heart prepared

You questioned what had sparked love
Gave me the nudge to see
Which moment had released it
Sent love’s birds flying free

I turned to you and smiled
Knew you would not believe
For it was nothing special
That made the final weave

It wasn’t at a dinner
Or dancing in the dark
It wasn’t at a picnic
While rain fell in the park

It wasn’t while out camping
Traversing crooked trails
It wasn’t at the movies
Or during concert fails

The love I have grew slowly
Snuck up from far behind
A small seed grew and blossomed
Quietly in my mind

The hint of love came later
Though I was slow to learn
Each second it grew stronger
Until my heart would burn

The light shined at its brightest
So bright I couldn’t deny
The night that nothing happened
While gazing at the sky

You’d run to me in panic
Raccoons attacked the trash
You clutched my arm for safety
Love changed me in a flash

The blinder simply vanished
New eyes looked into yours
The waves of love compelling
Bashed open bolted doors

That is my favorite moment
While looking at the moon
My arm held tight around you
Our hearts then played in tune

I knew then how I loved you
My heart forever yours
Our souls were joined together
To others closed their doors

Convinced in that brief moment
One day you’d be my wife
No time or space could cleave us
I’d love you all my life
