First time love

First time

First time I saw love
in your eyes and believed
there is something strange
I was unable to manage

what was flowing internally?
I tried to assess really I got no solution
it was beginning of the confusion

I still dared
and stared
into her eyes directly
I felt it real and divinely

she will not speak a word
and make me feel weak 
I tried to utter in the huff
she made a gesture and laughed

is it beginning or an end?
what did she try to send
some sort of an affirmative signal
I could feel its arrival

what shall I do then?
I feel real heaven 
she is there but not near
silently I think and fear

did you eat dear?
I search where from I hear?
she speaks again
I feel real pain
