I never liked the idea of a bounce-back date <br />I just couldn't get used to it if you can relate. <br />But there seemed something special about this one, <br />He was gentle, soft-spoken, and I actually had fun. <br />He touched my hand when he spoke like a woman would <br />So tender, yet so strong and oh, he smelled so good. <br />His eyes were intense as he listened to every word I said, <br />As my fantasy arose, 'hmm...I wonder if he's like this in bed.' <br />But could this be real? Is this a man before me? <br />Or is it an illusion? A wolf in sheep's clothing? <br />He walked me to my car and asked if we could do this again, <br />And this is where the story begins. <br />Of course I said, 'yes, ' then I knew what was next, <br />I closed my eyes and pressed my lips to his, <br />I was going to savor the moment of our first kiss... <br /> <br />After a year had passed we had continued dating <br />And I still feel like I am daydreaming. <br />A ring of the doorbell and I knew it was him <br />But I looked through the peephole before I let him in. <br />Flowers dancing behind his back with a card in hand, <br />Instantly I knew that was my man. <br />He stepped through the threshold and dropped to one knee <br />My eyes filled with tears as he asked to marry me. <br /> <br />Five years have come and gone with a boy that is one and a girl that is three, <br />I could never imagine this picture perfect family. <br />My husband comes home and our kids rush to see, <br />'Daddy, daddy we missed you. Do you have something for me? ' <br />A wonderful husband and two beautiful kids <br />I close my eyes and think life couldn't get any better than this... <br />But wait...we still haven't gotten past our first kiss... <br />I open my eyes realizing I got caught up in the moment that could be, <br />And now I can live my life long fantasy.<br /><br />Jason Summers<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/caught-up-in-the-moment-a-woman-s-perspective/
