When Eyes Met: A Love Poem Born at First Sight
There are moments in life that don’t knock—they crash like waves. Moments that alter the shape of time, freezing it into something sacred. For one boy, it happened the moment he saw her.
It wasn’t a grand setting—just a corner café, where the sunlight spilled through the windows and turned the dust into glitter. He didn’t even know her name. But in the instant their eyes met, something shifted. A hush fell inside him, the kind only love can bring.
He said nothing—how could he? Language seemed too small for what his heart felt, so he wrote.
The First Glance
I saw her there, where sunlight bends,
A stranger lost in weekend air.
She didn’t see the world around—
The world saw her and stopped to stare.
No words were said, no smiles exchanged,
But something in me learned her face.
A thousand dreams I never knew
Were sparked within that fleeting place.
Her eyes were poems I couldn’t write,
Her presence—warm, a whispered fire.
And in that glance, the world grew still,
Time held its breath for my desire.
Was it love? Who’s to say?
But something deep began that day.
A story written in a look—
A heart, a hope, an unwrite book.
It’s funny how the heart works—how in one moment, one look, a life can change. Whether it becomes a lasting love or just a beautiful memory, that feeling stays. Pure. Untouched. A quiet fire that once lit your soul.
Some call it foolish. Others call it fate. But for those who’ve ever felt it, it’s unforgettable.
Have you ever fallen in love at first sight? Tell me your story in the comments—sometimes, poetry is born in the eyes of the reader too.
