When we first met you use to pinch me and punch me because that’s what little girls do. <br />You use to tell me that I was stupid and things like that. <br />As months went by you use to tease me and taunt me because that’s what girls do. <br />Then one day you began to notice me for me. <br />You began to tease me in a different way because that’s what teenage girls do. <br />You began to look at me in a different way <br />Then we became friends that would talk each and every day <br />Before you know it we became more than friends <br />We started dating for years and years <br />I told you that you were the only one so many times that year <br />When I asked you to marry me that first time <br />You said we were way too young. <br />Another year past by when I asked you again <br />Again you replied we were still too young. <br />The day came when I left and went away to join the Army that mid year. <br />I was deployed so far, far away in that distant land <br />We continued to communicate the best way we could <br />This was enough for me to ask you for the third time if we could <br />You finally broke down and said we should this is what I wanted for the past two years <br />So I flew home as fast as I could before you were able to change your mind <br />It finally came true that clear and sunny day back there in December of eighty-three. <br />Now years have gone by and by we are still together for this is why <br />You are still my best friend and my lover that is true <br />We have had some good times and some bad times this is no lie <br />But you are always there by my side for when it means the most I don’t know why <br />When I was healthy and when I was sick even when we had money and then we had none <br />We made this commitment when we were very young you have stuck with me this is true <br />For this I will always love you forever and forever my only true love until my life is through.<br /><br />Scott Austin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-we-first-met/
