Thief

Like a thief in the night, you stole my heart
Beguiled by your beauty lost in your gaze
I fell under your spell right from the start
When you set my heart to a fiery blaze  

Like a thief, you came unexpectedly 
Caught me by surprise with your elegance 
I walked into pure serendipity    
When your world and mine collided by chance   

Just like a thief, you took my breath away 
Mesmerized by your sweet innocent smile 
I saw your true beauty as clear as day 
When I held your gaze and my soul afire    

You took my breath away from that first sight
And stole my heart like a thief in the night
