I wrote this poem about my oldest son’s dad about the night I met him. I was obviously infatuated right away as 16 year olds tend to be. He was 21 and I was 16 and that situation was really predatory but at that time, I didn’t think nothing of it.

That night
You took my sweaty hands into yours
And my heart started beating fast and furiously
That night
I looked into your sincere and beautiful brown eyes
And knew that you were for real
That night
You put your arms around me
And made everything seemed possible
That night
You kissed me gently
And worked your way up to my lips
That night
You professed your love to me
And made time stand still
That night
I found what I was looking for
In your arms, that night
