‘When I saw you – the first, time forgot to move,
And silence learned a sweeter tune.
The world grew distant, soft and blurred,
As my heart listened to an unspoken word…
When I saw you, your flowing hair
Danced with the breeze beyond compare;
Dark waves cascading, graceful and free,
Like midnight rivers flowing toward the sea.
When I saw you, your lovely face
Seemed carved from beauty, charm, and grace;
Your gentle smile, your radiant eyes,
Seemed to hold the wonder of starry skies.
When I saw you, my breath stood still,
Caught by a feeling beyond my will;
For every glance that you bestowed
Lit golden lanterns – along my road.
When I saw you, your slender frame
Awakened feelings I could not name;
Elegant, poised, both strong and bright,
A vision bathed in morning light.
When I saw you, I understood
Why poets dream and write as they should;
For in that moment my heart knew true,
It had begun to belong to you… Natasha…’
