From the First

(a sonnet for love)

 

The seventh thing I noticed about you

was how your morning hair stands up on end.

The sixth (I notice daily this is true)

is that you’re first and foremost my best friend.

The fifth trait I found worthy of remark

was that you value people over things.

The fourth was that your hand in mine makes sparks –

every time you touch me, my heart sings.

The third, that laughter punctuates your day

and when I laugh with you I feel complete.

The second thing I noticed right away:

My quickened heartbeat every time we meet.

But from the start I felt my heart might burst –

your smile was captivating from the first.
