Celebration of the First Date

Hooray, hooray!
The day has come
When all the dreams become real.
No more waiting to be seen;
Eye contact is normal now,
I have the right to gaze upon you,
As you do on me, if you do at all.
Today is the day, which I celebrate with you;
The making of a dream,
My victory over cowardice,
Thinking but never attempting to make an effort.

Sometimes it is the real that we dream,
What we would like to see or make happen.
They say that patience is a virtue,
But that time is of the essence,
And we should therefore seize the day, Carpe diem!
I didn’t let you slip away,
Because I wanted to keep holding on to an idea,
An innocent thought of us.
Well, mostly you, but I do recall that I was there
Holding your smile and your hand.

What shall it be on this grandeur day?
A walk through the fields of human existence,
A journey to a place where sitting is permitted?
Where I am allowed to capture your attention,
As you do with mine always when you’re near?
We can share the same air
And then we can label it “ours.”
Around the world we’ll stamp
Objects and moments of experience as “ours.”

Later years we can reminisce of what was done,
Or of what we did or are going to,
And in the end of this particular moment
We can make ourselves immortal,
Dancing and laughing,
Creating echoes for our ears
Setting precedence for young couples
Silly for each other as we are today;
Waiting to bask underneath the sun’s glorious rays;
I wanting to bask in only yours.

Steady as we go,
Make no mistake from now to then,
Or from here to there;
Every second counts in this spectacle of life.
True, there are many soul mates parading around
Looking for their better side,
But I am comfortable right now
In this dream I’m living.

I want to share some time with you,
Would love to stick around
And collect every wink, smile, or beautiful gesture
That flies from within your person.
I’m not promising forever,
Nor am I disregarding it either.
I just want to have a good time
And I think with you I could.
