Their hands aligned fit together like a glove;
Neither of them had a loved one.
Looks exchanged with a foreign idea of love,
wanting to be more than friends in the long-run

Many scoffed with words of doubt
But their hate did little to hurt.
We took time, and our love did sprout.
Even if it was only causal flirt.

And on the day of our first date
I could hardly believe my luck
It had to be more than just fate
You showed up that day lovestruck

And like they say, love at first sight-
You have always brought me such delight.

My father has been writing poems to my mother since I was little. I decided to give it a go with the person I am with now.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
