I fell in love

I fell in love with your smile
And the way you raised your eyebrows
In mock surprise

I fell in love with your lips
As you shyly spoke your words
Ending with a laugh

I fell in love with your blue green eyes
As you stared directly into mine
As if in competition

I was loathe to let you go even then
Did it show my love -
In the way I looked for you later?

How pleased I was when I saw you again
Pretending I did not see
But all the time aware of you and me.

I was jealous even then - remember
Of he with tales to tell
That sounded full of knowledge

Then I mocked too
Because I wanted your attention
And you so sweet - reproved me

And you were right to do
I didn't know then that
You had chosen me too
