True Love Poem

There was a time when I didn't know your name.

When I could have passed you in an airport or sat next to you on a bus, and never said a word.

How astounding that is to me now!

Now, the mere mention of your name, even in a song, makes me smile.

Now, the sight of you makes my heart do flip-flops

I think back on that time and wonder:

How could I have been me, without you?

And the answer, quite simply, is that I wasn't me, not fully…

until

I met you.
