It Must Be Love

It felt like falling off a tall, tall cliff
Time had frozen, and so had my heart beat
My body not moving, twas oh so stiff 
Would I ever again feel so complete

Should I to compare this moment of love
His dreamy eyes astonishingly rare
Such could only come from heaven above
This moment could only be ours to share

Can’t resist the smile hinting my lips
A silent but mutual acknowledgement
Moments like this have not ever had scripts
How will one overcome astonishment

Conversations merging into a blur
Oh! My entranced heart is shining so bright
Truly falling for this charming young sir
What could it be except love at first sight
