Falling in Love Again After Only Six Hours

I started out startled.
Absorbing in minutes the full impact of you after...how long?  
Struggled between wanting to shut the door and go back to my bowl of cereal, newspaper, daily routine and the idea of packing up and running away together right then all because of the color of your eyes.

How typical that we went right into in-depth analysis.
A verbal vivisection of hearts' intent.  We waltzed with our words and struggled with who would lead.  

How ironic that we end up in your standard college club drinking.  You always said it was silly when a couple went to a bar together.  But we sat and had drinks and it felt like one of those episodes of "Blind Date" when the couple is really clicking.

How sad that we kissed.  Just once.  But enough to send me into a state of half lies and denial for every new day since.  

How wrong I am to have said 'yes' to someone else before I knew we could fall in love again after only six hours.
