From That Day On Poem by Ray Hansell

I thought love
Has passed me by
But then you looked
And said, hi

I saw a smile
Cross your face
For once I was
In the right place

I said, hi
How are you?
You said, fine
Nothing new

I asked, would you
Like some coffee
Not today
But soon we’ll see

For a moment
I almost froze
My heart sank
Only God knows

I realized
Right away
We’ll not share coffee
On any day

But to my surprise
The next day you said
How about that coffee
I almost dropped dead

We went and had coffee
We shared a bite to eat
I was so elated
That we got to meet

So from that day on
Little did we know
That just from that hello
How much love would grow
