Love At First Sight

Arriving at the restaurant I am the friend of a friend A stranger to most Introductions are brief Too many names to remember For my overworked brain But I smile Make polite conversation Feeling awkward and ill at ease I sense someone behind me I turn quickly Our eyes lock Your stare so intense I cannot look away I feel emotional My heart beats faster As I observe the passion in your eyes I know we will be together From opposite ends of the longest table I feel your eyes bearing into me The chemistry between us so powerful The wanting in your eyes My imagination runs wild Each glance sending a shock through my body I know what you’re thinking I don’t even know your name You smile at me, eyes twinkling I melt I feel warm inside I relax in your presence The meal is finally over We retire to the garden terrace Comfortable yet excited I feel as nervous as a teen Without hesitation You walk slowly towards me We start to talk, your eyes fixed solely on mine I watch your kissable lips as you speak My mind drifts I smile You smile back Oh yes, we will be together Standing next to your tall stature I feel protected Coveted and safe You move closer Placing your hand gently on the small of my back You send shivers down my spine Every hair on my body is standing to attention Hormones on full alert I cannot pull away from you I don’t want to I want you closer As close as can be As the music starts You take my hand Our bodies sway to the rhythm Arms wrapped around my waist Touching me Driving me insane with desire and lust We fit like a glove Moving slowly to the music Our bodies in tune Your lips snuggle into my neck I sigh with pleasure The music stops The night is ending I do not want to say goodbye I want this night to last forever Leaning in towards me For a good night kiss Your lips touch mine Igniting the passion between us From that moment on We are truly together This night will last forever For For the contest, Trashed #4, sponsor, Broken Wings.
