to impress her I neither had the time or inclination to be acrobatic

nor can I follow her around all day, a task she deems automatic.

Am I to be blamed if regard all this routine as idiotic??

My friends were quick to spot "dont knock it till you 've tried it "

to which my quick retort was " save your breath, I dont believe it one bit "

how ironic then, when she walked by whence my heart just lit!

surely not love at first sight?! but I dont see where else it would fit !!

A changed man suddenly, I approached her shy and nervous

Stumbling and mumbling I figured its just going to get tortuous

acknowledging my predicament she spoke first & was ever charming & graceous.

we then shared a long talk where I learned her to be true and virtuous.

Soon we were dating and I had to give my pre concived thoughts a toss,

but anything for her I shall never consider it a loss

slowly realising love isnt about showing whose the boss,

flinging away from my neck my very own albatross.

This was a year ago, now our relationship is strong and steady,

quite assured of tying the knot once we are settled and ready.

I have long since sought forgivness for being so ignorant

of romance which is a way of life & is nothing but pleasant !!
