Love By Chance : Love Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

The street was bathed in soft moon light ,

I walked up to her door.

My heart was pounding out

like it had never done before .

I thought about the girl I loved

and wished that she was mine .

One day maybe I'll get the nerve

to ask her out in time .

More or less ,

I'm shy I guess so I think I'll leave it there .

 A little note , with a quote I wrote ,

secretly for her .     

I placed a rose outside her door,

 then tapped the window pane .

She stepped outside and looked around,

 I watched her from the lane .

 I wanted to call her name

but instead I choose to hide .

She picked up the rose and smelt the scent

then returned inside .

 I saw her reflection

behind the curtain in the room ,

I threw her a silent kiss

 under the light of the moon.

It was romantic and daring,

 at least from where I hid .

 I whispered a thought ,

 I actually did it , yes I did .

I floated all the way home ,

where she met me at the gate .

" Please stay with me a while "

She said , "

I know its getting late ,

but I saw you leave the rose

and I wanted you to know ,

its not time for goodbye

when there's a chance to say hello ."

She reached out her hand to me

and I took it gently there ,

we walked together for an hour  ,

I fell in love with her .

She told me she that had waited

 for me to ask her out ,

I told her I was afraid ,

as I always lived with doubt  .

My fears took flight when we kissed that night

outside her front door .

After that I was like a lion

that found a mighty roar .

I am so lucky to have this lady

who said hello .

We will stay together ,

until its time for us to go .
