It wasn’t love at first sight

But over a period of time

Love flourished between us

As a poem flows with rhyme

Love needs time to grow

We had looked at each other

Though liked what we saw

Yet, living together wasn’t

The conclusion we could draw

Love needs time to grow

We tried to be good friends

Which brought us much delight

Gradually we realized that

Our partnership was right

Love needs time to grow

It blossomed into marriage

Filled life with romance

It took effort to develop

Did not happen at a glance

Love needs time to grow
