So many months of promising a meeting,
One where I am able to get lost in the green
Of her eyes, one I have dreamt of so many nights
That I can almost feel her hand in mine it seems.
I sigh deeply as a small smile plays on my lips,
My feet carrying me towards that special place
She always told me she wanted us to meet for the first time,
With the mere thought of her, I quicken my pace.
I swallow rather hard and scratch feverishly at my arm in nervousness,
The wind softly twirling in my hair as the sun peers down on me,
Warming me to my core as I shiver in anticipation of that first glance
And how, even here, even now, I am still just as excitedly happy as my dream.
I scan over faces that pass me by, though they all look past me,
My eyes lingering on each to study the features but frown slightly
As I notice that they do not belong to the love of my life;
Subtly my shoulders slump, but then I freeze.
I see her there, under the awning of that special place,
Only to be swept away by a feeling of pure bliss
And think, "today has finally come."
Slowly, hesitantly, I take a step towards her
Her eyes locking on mine as she notices my movement
And I see a small shudder pass through her body,
Her mouth opening a little as if to call out to me.
I watch her eyes look over me and an array of emotions
Dance across her face, ones I've pictured but could never compare
To these; as they solidify into one I know as love, I move quickly
To her, pushing past strangers crossing my path, keeping me from her.
As we reach each other, my breath becomes ragged
And I whisper her name in recognition before cupping her face,
Her answering hug warming me more than the sun ever could
As I wrap my arms around my future, my love, my everything.
I pull back and watch her lips move as she searches for words,
I manage to shakily murmur the words I promised to be the first
"I love you"
As I look into the eyes of my home
Finally.
