With You I'll Stay

That very first day you looked my way,

You stole my heart like a villain in the night.
Since then you’ve had me and with you I’ll stay.

Those eyes so deep and ever so gray,
They peer deep within my heart, with a knowing gleam.
That very first day you looked my way.

The first day you said “hi!” and then walked away,
I was the happiest girl you’d ever find.
Since then you’ve had me and with you I’ll stay.

Our hands fit perfectly together like molded clay,
You smile at me with a golden beam

That very first day you looked my way.

I dreamt of you all throughout the day
And when you talked to me I tried not to scream!
Since then you’ve had me and with you I’ll stay.

We were so young, but we never did care
Hand in hand we walk, not ever looking back
That very first day you looked my way,
You’ve had me and with you forever I’ll stay.

This poem is a villanelle that I wrote for my creative writing class. I was inspired to write it by my boyfriend, and how our relationship started, and how it's grown. I think it turned out well!
