The first time we said hello.

I picked you up on a whim.

A complete beautiful mystery.

It felt like birds and bees flapping against the corridors of my stomach.

That day, cupid did not have an arrow large enough to hold a love this size,

so we hijacked a plane and flew it into my chest.

You, you make me want to jump off any bridge in Cary

just to prove that I'm invincible with you next to me.

It wasn't enough at hello. Even after.

It was crucial that we spoke again.

If I were to say that i really wanted to get to know you,

it would be an understatement.

It was more.

Me, I wanted to pour your thoughts and feelings

in a wine glass and sip them slow

like any one of our countless long hikes.

I want to light candles and bathe for hours in secrets

that you just never had the courage to say to anyone.

I'm ready to grab onto your dreams,

and dive head first into a pool just to see if hope still floats.

I want to float next to you.

I want to bring us up.

I'm talking feet above cumulonimbus cloud,

just so no one ever rains on our parade.

I feel like a winner.

all you had to do was let me fall in love with you.

I won.

Let me fall in love with you.

I am the only one made for you.

You are the only one made for me.

if i could, i would sing you a song,

if i could i would sample your smile.

Id wait on that smile forever and a day.

I love when i'm the reason for your smile.

Your the reason for mine.

I'm smiling. Love.

my heart does the bass line and

I feel that we create the greatest love song

whenever I am next to you.

Next to each other always.

When my friend & family ask if your my girlfriend,

i'll say. No Teresa is my musician.

And me, I'm her favorite song.

You live in my thoughts and in my dreams.

I see you at night.

And i see you in the day.

And whether or not you pass my way physically,

the day we met begins to play in my mind and rewind like every 30 minutes.

That's like 30 times a day at least.

That's like 210 times a week.

and you make me weak in my knees

and I can hardly speak.

I know you sense it,

i get caught like a deer

in the head lights of your beauty.

You dance in my ideas.

You twirl.

And before you sleep

its like you wrap yourself in my memories.

And you fire ecstacy into my soul.

You free my soul.

Your the first to make my poems voice

just by walking into my arms.

I'm not this love sick fool.

I sit back underrated and thinking.

What would others do?

What would you do my beloved?

If you saw the most beautiful flower

in the whole world.

For those who don't even love flowers,

it would make them say,

that flowers kinda nice.

This one flower that took my breath away.

So beautiful.

This flower enticed me to get close.

What would you do Teresa?

Would you pick the flower

or would you leave it there

for others to look at and enjoy.

I picked the flower.

You had me at hello.

The first time we said hello,

I picked up that flower.

I love you.

Forever my smile and flower.
