The Moment..

The moment we first kissed,
was the moment it all changed.
It was then I knew,
that something here was different.
I didn't know then what it was.
I never thought it to be love,
maybe a crush.
It was just a game to me,
and our innocent ways.
We were so innocent and young then.

The moment I felt your touch on my skin,
was the moment I felt a spark.
Something that was never there before,
and then I knew.
It was something more than a crush,
maybe a few sparks,
that's all.
It was still just a game to us,
me and you,
we were never serious.
We were still so young and innocent.

The moment I heard your voice in my ear,
was the moment a revelation came.
The sparks were flying,
and the three little words you told me,
made it true.
I felt my life change,
and tears form.
It was then I knew,
that I loved you.
But we were still just playing games.
It hurt me so bad,
when I felt like I had no chance.
Our innocence was fading.

The moment I cried for you,
was when I realized how much you meant to me.
It was then I knew I wanted you,
and I had no idea what to do.
And still we were playing games,
my innocence had faded,
yours still stood strong.

The moment I applauded you,
the day you were leaving to go to college,
after the church service.
I was there to cheer you on,
I was there for you.
Because you mean the world to me,
and you make me feel like no one else has.
When I hugged you to say good bye,
inside my heart was melting,
crying out for you.
I didn't want to let go,
but I had to.
It was so hard for me,
and once we walked out of those doors,
we went our separate ways.
But still our bond was strong.
We stayed close,
and now we had stopped playing games.
You still remained innocent and pure,
just like we used to be.

The moment I missed you,
brings tears to my eyes.
And for once I know how it feels,
to love and want someone so bad it hurts.
Especially someone so close,
so special to you.
But I smile,
and carry on.
I know I'll get to see you soon.
Even if it feels like my world is caving in on me now,
I know I'll survive,
because I have some of your wisdom,
and I have our memories together.
They keep me strong when I'm in doubt.

The moment that I realized I loved you,
was life changing,
it brought me to tears.
As I choked back the sobs,
the words to the song floating to my ears.
They made me realize,
that everyone before,
they were just leading me to you.
It tore me down,
but made me see,
all these years it's been something more.
I'd missed it until now,
and before I had taken it for granted.
But now I seen it for what it was,
not just a crush,
not only a few sparks,
but a love that had blossomed so beautifully,
and slowly,
that we'd both missed it.
But somehow knew it was there.

And that moment brings me to now,
where my thoughts and feelings for you collide.
They intertwine and weave something beautiful,
something that is stronger than friendship.
And my mind creates a hope,
a hope that you feel the same about me,
as I feel about you.
Maybe we could try,
or maybe we should wait.
But the flames are burning like wild fire,
and my feelings are so strong now,
that they could never die.
