Love Poem

The First Day
by Christina Rossetti

I wish I could remember the first day,
First hour, first moment of your meeting me;
If bright or dim the season it might be;
Summer or winter for aught I can say.
So, unrecorded did it slip away,
So blind was i to see and to forsee,
So dull to mark the budding of my tree
That would not blossom, yet, for many a May.

If only I could recollect it! Such
A day of days! I let it come and go
As traceless as a thaw of bygone snow.
It seemed to mean so little, meant so much!
If only now I could recall that touch,
First touch of hand in hand! - Did one but know!

I chose this love poem because I feel that the author is really in love. She feels passionally in love with someone who she recently kissed and can not remeber what it felt like. In a way this poem makes me remember crushes from when i was little and they way i felt about those boys. I really liked this poem and the feelings that relate to Valintines Day.
