Secret Love at First Sight

by Schmitty - Gemini

In the blink of an eye my world was changed one Hampton's summer night 
When an angel appeared and gave my soul a tremendous will to fight 

Her eyes sang out a song to me that put me in a siren-like trance 
A tractor-beam started pulling me in; it only took one glance 

I tried to turn and look away but visual absence I could not endure 
A pain began to tighten in my stomach that no medicine could cure 

She wore a sexy summer dress that barely sheltered her legs of steel 
When our eyes first met that starry night I didn't know how to feel 

That priceless smile and witty tongue could turn any sane man wild 
They left this confident man defenseless and feeling like a child 

It'd be no surprise to learn she's taken; the odds are in her favor 
But to court this dangerously beautiful princess I'd sign any legal waver 

I hope she realizes that she's the one after reading this little note 
All I ask for in return is a measly little quote 

If the feeling is mutual please let me know and let's go out to dinner 
If not and you want to just stay friends I'll still come out a winner 

If timing's the issue, I'll understand; just please know how I feel 
Should your status change please remember that my heart is yours to steal 

You can't win the lottery without a ticket and these stakes are high for me 
So take a chance and I'll prove to you that I can set your spirit free
