As the First Time - February 21, 2011

As the First Time

I turned the pages where I wrote down your name

Reading every line as the first time

Although each letter did not spell out the same

Your heart was in each word

In every rhyme

I read the depths of my own heart in verses

Reading every line as the first time

Although not a single word was rehearsed

Each letter spelled out your name

In my mind

I turned the pages where I wrote down your name

Reading every one as the first time

I wondered to myself if I still felt the same

If my heart still held each word close

To every rhyme

Then I turned the pages over and I took out my pen

Began writing every line as the first time

My heart began to sing as I read once again

That your heart was in each word

Of every rhyme
