The First Moment

I knew it the moment I first saw your face,

I'd fall hopelessly under your spell.

And although I fought it as hard as I could,

in my eyes you could already tell.

There was no way of hiding the passion I felt,

being smitten right down to my core.

All it took was one smile and the softest of words,

for my pride to dissolve on the floor.

You had great looks and wisdom with plenty of charm,

plus a friendliness none could compete.

You were fun and adventurous, happy and kind,

just the angel I wanted to meet.

But despite my affection and honest intentions,

I never saw into your heart.

Til that terrible evening we got in a fight,

and our friendship was sundered apart.

Yet what really destroyed me and does to this day,

is the fact that I went unrequited.

For despite growing closer than childhood friends,

it was always my love that you slighted.

Seing you in the arms of another was truly

the bitterest pill I could take.

For I knew that the person who you coveted,

was despicable, horrid and fake.

Now I try to ignore and forget all the words

and the feelings I once said were true.

But I know deep inside, even after I marry,

I'll never quite get over you.
