Side By Side Poem by Elise Colon

The earth shook
My heart fluttered with every word you uttered
I opened my mouth but couldn't breathe because my heart left me no words to speak. It sent out a beating rhythm of love tangled with absolute certainty that you were the one for me.
If a look could decide then the decision was made when we touched with our eyes.
A single glance blossomed a romance, a new chance for something the world could never handle
A soft touch was enough, never rough, to bring two hearts together that would never tether or ever be apart.
A new love, a true love...you and I
By a glance of eyes, love did decide that we shall stay side by side
