426. Never Know

I have never known such a beautiful sight
Although I’ve seen many an amazing thing
Yet this morning I was gifted with such a vision
No greater enchantment could my life bring
There you stood leaning against my door
A picture of beauty that took my breath away
You caught me so off guard I couldn’t talk
My brain fumbling for something to say
Though in my fourth decade I felt sixteen
It’s been years since I’ve felt like this
While my ears listened I heard not a word
It was the sight of you I didn’t want to miss
Had things been different I’d drop to one knee
You’ve stolen my heart and my soul
Alas you left without realizing your affect
For my love for you you’ll never know
