POETRY CORNER: I'd die happy with you.

This poem was written after my first date with my fiancé, nearly three years ago. He had just dropped me home, and I was giddy with feelings, I had to write something down; and this is what was created. 

We stopped at a red light and I wanted to kiss you.

The raindrops raced down the window screen

And I could hear my heart beat.

I got a funny feeling in my stomach when the light turned to amber

And by the time it was green,

I had forgotten who I was

Just that I was happy.

We stopped at a red light and I wanted to kiss you.

The raindrops ran down the window screen

As your hand touched my knee.

I hoped you had the same feeling in your stomach when the light turned to amber

And when it changed to green

you drove a little faster.

We stopped at a red light and I wanted to kiss you.

The raindrops danced on the window screen

As you played the music louder.

You caught my eye as the light turned to amber

And by the time it turned to green

I knew If I died tonight,

I’d die happy with you.
