On a Day Before We Met

On a day long before we met

Before I saw your face

Before I heard your voice

Before I knew your name

Some one day before we met

Or was it not after several

Dreaming days

That I fell in love believing

In the possibility of you.

This love I now give to you

Is not newly born

Nor the idle dance of an hour.

It is the breath that fills my lungs,

The rhythm pulsing within my heart

The pattern of my life.

This love that I have kept

Was yours before either of us knew

On a day long before we met

For it was then

I fell in love with you.
