Love at First Sight


This poem I wrote is the story of the first time Adam and I met. I was serving at Pita Jungle and Adam was 2 weeks off his mission. Adams mom wanted to try this new restaurant Pita Jungle. So Adam and his family went. They were seated originally out of my section. Then Linda Adams mother asks the hostess to please move them over one table over. Adam  his brother and dad were embarrassed "mom come on really one table over!" but she insisted they move. So they moved. They were now placed in my section table number 31. I walked across the room getting ready to serve my table 31 and I was half way there and i looked up and saw Adam. He was gorgeous absolutely beautiful. My heart pounded I was holding my breath.  I knew him but had never met him. I felt I had experienced another life with him. I was so thrown off by what had happened I turned around and went back to the bus station to catch my breath. I felt like my feet didn't meet the ground, like i was floating. I told myself pull it together they are waiting on you. So I walked on over to table 31. 

I still remember what I was wearing a black short dress with cut up jeans underneath and my hair was up. I caught my breath and went on approaching the table. I felt it again but this time stayed I didn't need to flee I felt safe as if thats were i had always belonged. So I went on serving them the rest of the evening. Adam and I glazed into each others eyes but no words were spoken. They were done eating and I panicked! Did he feel what I felt? He has to mean something for me to have those strong feeling. Maybe I should give him my number? So I decided to start writing down my number. I was half way through my number when I heard his voice... "Hey" all shy and absolutely adorable. I could tell this wasn't a normal practice of his walking up to random girls. I too had never given my number or took any numbers from guys the whole 5 years I worked there. But this was different. 

So Adam said "I don't usually do this but can i have your number?". I then acted like i wasn't just writing it down!! I said "Well first of all giggling, Im Amber". Adam seemed speechless and introduced himself. I then handed him my number (retracing the first digits already written down) and he walked away. It all happened too fast. It was the most amazing thing I had ever experienced. From there on we hung out pretty much every day since. Adam truly is my true forever soul mate. My best friend and lover. 

Love at First Sight

You froze me in place the first time I saw you,
My lungs held on to that last breath, our souls collide.
Why do I feel so strangely after one glance? 
Your smile warm, one look in your eyes and I knew you.
Your voice contagious, warming every corner of my soul.
Why do I feel so connected after one glance?
I try and shake it but you already have a hold on my heart.
I feel you deeply.The pieces fit. love at first sight. 
It is soothing and safe, transporting me to a place I have never been.
I try to hear the thoughts of my head but my heart whispers back, it is ok to love.
Your walk both sturdy and fast, it reflects your strength.
The vibrations of your surrounding energy lightens me.
I can see and feel the essence of who you are.
I want more but I am afraid, I know everything will be alright because I already love you.
Time has passed and we have had so many adventures.
We are connected. My heart never knew love until I met you.
You are my true soul mate.
