No matter how well written,

No matter how well described,

Nothing can take the place

Of meeting personally at last.
 

Yes, so it did indeed elatedly happen

In a near-by small town, a rendezvous

My fond Angel of beauty stepping out-

Instantaneous, spontaneous the chemistry.
 

Sparks that shook the heart, a smile,

An embrace, a kiss, sweet words of love

A wave of emotion that lifted us high,

Filling our hearts' desires, setting them on fire.
 

The day bright and sunny, as were our hearts,

We could not restrain ourselves so happy were we-

Holding hands, cheek to cheek, butterfly kisses,

Sparkling eyes, promises of a new life to come.
 

The day ended as it had begun, on a happy note,

Ecstatically, wonderfully, our pledges renewed,

We promised ourselves soon to meet once again

Parting with an embrace, a kiss, wishing we could stay.
