When I met you my heart was freed,

When I Met You

For you fulfill my every need.

I want a love that is so true,

I want a heart that is not blue,

And from the start I’ve wanted you.

My love for you will just increase,

And with this love I’ll never cease.

I need for you to understand,

My love is true and surely grand.

And with these feelings I’ll never part,

Since I’ll give you my only heart.

I wish I knew just what to say,

To prove to you my love will stay

I guess I do in at least one way.

I could love you forever even after I die,

For you need not be clever to tell you just why.

It’s magic I plead like a dove upon flight,

Yes magic indeed love at first sight.

And if you’ve read this poem I wrote,

I hope you’ll consider I’m an amateur poet,

And when there’s love this is how I show it,

But I guess by now you already know it.

Now I ask of you to tell me our fate,

If you’d like to be friends or would rather us date,

For I know I want you to be my true mate.

If neither’s the case, then I guess I have failed,

Because I’m on a ship that I’ve never sailed.

What I’m trying to say is that I would not know,

How to win your heart if you let me go.
