Eight

I knew it to be love
when i first laid eyes on you
I knew your smell
from a mile away
my body went aflutter
and my mind forbade
thoughts of any kind
It did not bring my lips
to say hello
So many years later,
know I am grateful
for the words you spoke
the touch I needed
and the love that set me free
