this is about me seeing my boyfriend (whom i met on these forums) for the first time.... it needs some revising, but this is what i have so far. it's for class...
Finally
I waited all day
Phone calls, hands wringing
My heart a flutter
Anxious, I paced the house
I drove by the bus station to make sure
It was where it has always been.
I love you.
I waited all day
And my mind went crazy
Until I drove to the spot
Where I was to pick you up.
My brain stopped and my heart took over
My body trembled.
I love you.
I had never felt your warm, secure, yet unsure embrace
Had never gazed into your soul
But I knew you
And I knew I loved you for a long time
How can it be that I fell in love?
Absurdly, I thought it was impossible
To love you.
Waiting in the lobby I saw a bus
And my heart leapt
But it wasn't yours, so I sat again
And my legs shook
The next bus came, labeled "El Paso"
And I ignored it only to see you emerge from the corner of my eye
I love you.
When I had thought my heart would burst
Or my body would collapse
You held me closely
And our hearts beat rapidly together
I had never been held so tightly
Or been so close to tears of happiness
I love you.
I waited for months
And the miracle of us together
Overwhelmed me
We walked to my car and
I was nervous, embarrassed,
And you couldn't stop staring at me
I love you.
I felt your eyes on me all night
Not caring what anybody thought of us,
For the first time I was alone with you
For the first time I was truly whole
The rest of the world faded away to nothing
As our smiles melted together
I love you.
edit-- made some changes :)
