LOVE STRUCK

I stood across the dance floor 
Transfixed by your beauty and splendor 
Until the time I saw your face 
Even my name I could not remember.
Seeing you was love at first sight 
My heart was beating like a drum
My feet felt like led in my shoes 
And my entire body became numb.
Then you looked at me 
With eyes so bright 
And a smile that captured my heart 
For the very first time I experienced love 
Without words, you took me apart.
There I stood in a crowded room 
But only your face I see 
How I wished I had the nerves 
To say, Please!
Dance with me..
