Hello

You basically "had me at 'hello',"
Just like in that movie.
Months of conversing over the net,
And days of talking on the phone
Didn't amount to what it felt like to see you say it,
To watch your lips form the syllables.

It was love at first sight,
Corny to say, but oh so true.

I saw you, and knew I had to be with you.
The way you carried yourself,
Confident and relaxed,
The way you looked me in the eyes when you spoke,
And the shy little smile across your lips,
Made me shiver inside.

The way you spoke,
Quiet, yet forceful,
Made me feel like you were talking only to me.

Everybody else just faded away into the background,
You and me lost in our own world.
With you, all my inhibitions melted away.
I wasn't shy, I could be myself and say what was on my mind.

You'd talk to me, and I'd become speechless,
Concentrating on every word you said,
How you said them,
The tone of your voice as you spoke,
Gentle, and calm.

The first word you said to me, "hello"
Was when I knew you were my one,
The only one that has that place in my heart
That longs to be loved, and longs to be understood.
Every word feels special,
But that one simple word had me the first time I heard it.
You simply "Had me at hello"
