“Do you like me?” I asked him.
His eyes went wide. “Is it obvious?”
I laughed nervously. “Yes.”
He slowly smiled.


***
“You are the most beautiful
girl I have ever met;
I don’t know how I lived
without you.”

“You don’t have to anymore.”
We held hands. His eyes were
as deep as the ocean and just
as blue as it.

“If I told you I love you on the
first date, would you call me
crazy? Or would you smile?”
I looked at him, smile growing.

“I can’t say…” I laughed.
“I have finally found someone
who understands me.” He
whispered softly in my ear.

“I don’t want to lose you,”
He continues. “You are my
everything.”

I figured out that he loved me just by his expressions.

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

A very, very sweet poem. Though I think it would be better if someone told me they trulyloved me, after more than one date. But all in all, it is amazing, sweet, wonderful, and full of you and emotions. Thank you for sharing this!

Seems like the senario we all would like to hear on their first date! For me, I'd prefer someone to tell me they love me after more times passed though :). Perfect picture to correspond your free verse!

This was really cute! It  kind of seemed like a short scene from a movie or play. The only small criticism i have is that in the sentence, 'His eyes were as deep as the ocean and just as blue as it." You could have cut out the "as it" ending and made is a much crisper sentence. "His eyes were as deep as the ocean and just as blue." or "His eyes where as deep and blue as the ocean." Otherwise, great work.
