It all started with an on-line smile
A little icon with a lot of style
It sent a message without a word
Would my anonymous hello be heard?
Your sweet response was shyly sent
Please send a photo. Would I consent?
I did oblige and it was my pleasure
Perhaps you’d view it at your leisure
A shocking moment soon did follow
It made me nervous, hard to swallow
I learned you already knew my name
And decided to play a guessing game
At a total loss, I racked my brain
Hoping you wouldn’t cause too much pain
You teased me with each message you’d send
You sure got a kick from this game of pretend
Eventually, a light bulb went on
And I felt like I had finally won!
That was you? You’re kidding? Who knew?
If only I had known it was you
We picked up the phone and chatted profusely
Feeling at ease, conversation flowed loosely
We set up a date; we’d meet the next night
Grab a bite, catch up and see if things felt right
The next day seemed long as we anxiously waited
We did know each other, but we had never dated
The anticipation built till I got to your door
Mmm…you looked better than ever before.
We got re-acquainted and then went to dine
We had great conversation over glasses of wine
Then back to your place for a night cap or two
We both weren’t too sure what we should do
After hours of talking, you made your first move
From there, we slowly started to find our own groove
You were a true gentleman as the night went on late
You said I should stay and till morning should wait
It’s the first anniversary of that first date we had
Since then I am thankful for each day we add
The love we’ve developed makes each moment worthwhile
And we will never forget that first November smile
