Analysis of First Glance



I remember the first glance
you cast beside my scene.
I remember instant trance and the brilliant sheen.

I remember the first smile
you flashed across my way.
I remember instant style and the glamour play.

I remember the first smarm
you spoke into my ear.
I remember instant charm and the utmost cheer.

I remember the first dance
you rocked over my core.
I remember instant stance and the passion soar.

I remember the first kiss
you pressed upon my lips.
I remember instant bliss and the heartbeat skips.

I remember the first vow
you gave unto my heart.
I remember instant wow and the running start.
