The girl I sat behind

She is different
She is brave,
She is beautiful
There’s something about her I crave,

I called out her name
She turned with a smile,
Made me fall head over heels
Wanted to walk with her down the aisle,

She’s the one
I knew then and there,
Wanted to kiss her
but couldn’t dare,

I looked into her eyes
There was my world,
Couldn’t stay still
Everything just hurled,

When I had the chance
I bend down the knee,
She nodded yes
And together were we,

Three years later
I’m in her arms,
The girl I sat behind
Fallen for her charms.

The poem is dedicated to someone very special in my life. My highschool sweetheart, the girl I sat behind.
