It all started with a kiss
under the hanging branches of mistletoe
your parents hung up each year in their lounge
as the clock struck the new year our lips met
only for a minute but it felt like longer
I never felt more alive than at that moment
We started seeing each other regularly
every date we went somewhere new
my almost perfect dinner companion
I'd spend most of the meal looking into your eyes
and seeing the love reflected in them
After a few months I gave you a ring
and promised my future to you
I remember seeing you smile despite the tears
as you accepted my proposal
a wonderful wedding we celebrated
under the light of a full moon
I still can see you crying with joy
as you tossed the bouquet to your sister
We're still going strong a year later
our first born will be due any day
I don't even know if it's a girl or boy
in some ways I'm hoping for twins
When people ask us how we first met
I smile in happy memory of that first night
we look them in the eyes and reply
'it all started with a kiss'

I would like to translate this poem
I actually liked it. And that's saying something because, I usually only enjoy poems that make you feel all cold and heavy inside.
