At First Sight...
by Michael Doyle

At first sight, it is the love expected
After a life of being unrequited
I feel it with the kiss of your lips
The sparks run to my fingertips

I pay attention to what my heart tells me
While praying to God, my emotions won't fail me
Everything happens in its good season
One look in your eyes and I see the reason

There's a warmth in the smile we feel together
And I know this is for worse and for the better
Every time we touch, you touch my soul
It's so overwhelming, I'm giving up control

Sometimes, this feels like living a fairy tale
It's the kind of story destined to come out well
As your hero, I know I can always prevail
And if I don't and you do, then it's just as well

With a kiss farewell, we fade into the night
I know your love will be my guiding light
I don't know if love is truly close to blind
But I do believe, with my heart, that love is kind
