The first time I saw you, my world froze in place.
Time stood still, lost in your mesmerizing gaze.
Every beat of my heart seemed to skip and sway,
As fear and excitement mingled in the air that day.

My face betrayed my emotions, growing pale and weak,
For you had cast a spell that I couldn't help but seek.
I couldn't meet your eyes, so I looked away,
But your shadow approached, drawing near with every sway.

With each step, my breath hitched and my heart raced,
As anticipation danced, my pulse became encased.
The words you spoke fell upon deaf ears,
For my voice was lost, consumed by fears.

I yearned to respond, to utter a word,
But my tongue was tied, my thoughts blurred.
Unable to curve my lips into a smile,
My mind fell silent, in a state of beguile.

I felt as if the world had come to a sudden halt,
Captivated by your essence, my senses in assault.
This is how I felt, in that moment so grand,
When I first saw you, my heart fell into your hands.
