I Knew

Not because I was,

Persuaded,

Or influenced.

I knew from the moment,

My eyes met yours.

I felt this cold flush,

Sweat draining from pores.

Our bond is so strong, 

We've kept our love alive,

I keep fueling this fire,

Not a hint of sudden rive.

I cannot wait,

For the day,

I make you my bride.

Through obstacles, 

And hardships,

We'll conquer with war stride.

Then...

Adding a joy,

All bundled in swaddle.

An enormous smile forms,

Cherishing all the dawdle.
