The Night We Met Poem by Star lynn

The night I found you, I started wondering for once, am I happy?
I saw the light in the sky a month ago, when you walked in,
eyes that said, "please help me."
Lost, confused, like you knew where you were sitting
but not really where you belonged

You thought I'd be a handful,
and I thought you'd be weird.
But I looked at you already with dreamy eyes
the kind anyone could notice from a mile away

I tried to be funny, to get your attention,
but instead, I ended up embarrassed, stepping on your shoe,
not knowing why, I froze only that my heart skipped.
Why am I talking to you?
Why are you making me happy?

This wasn't supposed to be my night.
From a distance, I kept watching you
wondering if you were the one,
or just another joke

I wanted to have fun, so I laughed
even when you danced like a "ninja turtle" on the floor.
I found you funny and I kept wondering who you really were.

In a crowded room, I only saw you.
It was like everyone else had Xs on their faces.

Then you came to me
"Do you want to dance? " I said yes,
while my heart skipped a million times more

When the slow song started, I wondered if I was being played,
but I laughed when you didn't know the words.
I loved your eyes.
You didn't understand everything,
but somehow your heart did.

I screamed lyrics into your face,
hoping you'd understand what I couldn't say.
But you just held me closer
a comfort I had never felt before.

Maybe you were my missing puzzle piece,
or maybe I was yours too.

We pulled each other closer, unsure but safe.
I rested my head on your shoulder,
and I stopped questioning if I was happy
because I already was.

Your warmth felt like something I had been searching for.
And in that moment, you felt like a mirror
like you were just like me,
still finding yourself while finding me.

That night felt like a fairy tale.
And I didn't want it to end.
