I was there with him

You were there with her

But at sight of you

My heart began to stir

The things that I felt

Could not be explained

Whatever it was

Would not be contained

Then you looked at me

And that's when I knew

Without any doubt

That you felt it too

We both left our dates

Drawn as moths to flame

By this sensaation

Whatever its name

We stopped at arm's length

And just simply stared

Not sure what to make

Of this lure that we shared

You reached for my hand

I gave it gladly

And at that first touch

Our hearts beat madly

And for the first time

In all of my life

I felt completed

Emotions were rife

In that one instant

Our fates were sealed tight

Our souls became one

True love at first sight
