I like to sit and reminisce
About that first, of many, kiss
We weren’t even a couple yet
We hadn’t really properly met
Two complete novices in the art
Yet we kissed from the start
Like masters of the kissing craft
With a passionate abiding graft
I like to sit and reminisce
About our special first kiss
We are at the beginning
We are barely on our way
Love is still new and fresh
But I would just like to say
I want to grow old with you
Till we are both old and grey
I want us both to be together
Until our far-off dying day
You have awoken the sleeping beast
That was my heart of black
You have awakened the feelings
That died in me a long time back
You have made my senses tingle
You have made my pulses race
You have filled me with a glow
And brought a smile back to my face
Now the sleeping beast has awoken
I just thought you should know
You have given me new life
And I will always love you so
The seeds of love are sown
When cupid’s arrow flies
A love that grows ever stronger
Begins at first in the eyes
Then the seeds are nurtured
And with patient cultivation
Then love, strong and sturdy
Will be the fruitful culmination
On that beautiful
sunlit day in June
When they played that familiar tune
My heart was filled with happiness
When I saw you in the big white dress
I stole a sideways
glance at you
And found you looking at me too
It was quite goofy we smiled so much
I took your hand and felt your tender touch
Proudly we stood
together side by side
As before God the knot was tied
My heart filled again with happiness
As I wed the girl in the big white dress
If pride is a sin then
I’ve sinned too much
I’ve felt it when I’ve felt your loving touch
I’ve felt it at our happiest and our saddest
And when I saw you in a maternity dress
Oh how I remember that
day in June
When they played that familiar tune
And my heart was filled with happiness
When I saw you in the big white dress
And now as I look back
across the years
To the times of laughter and of tears
I wish to tell it to the world and shout it loud
I’ve never said “I
love you” and not felt proud
She has gone now
And has left a hole
Where my heart
Once resided
But her spirit
Is always with me
And hangs in the air
Like a breath of
spring
Before the moment passes
I would just like to
say
Don’t you ever forget
Not even for a day
How very special you
are
In each and everyway
