I Knew…

How couldn’t I have known?

You knew the moment we met

I, I was not so sure

“Oh, there you are! I’ve been searching for you for so long,” were your first words to me

My heartbeat fluttered

Our souls had already entangled themselves

Dancing widely to the song of love

Overwhelmed by the familiarity of you

A feeling unlike anything I’ve ever experienced

Then I knew

This was not just ‘love at first sight’

“Yes. Here I am,” I answered you.
