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
