How many heads have I bowed?
How many hands have I folded?
I do not know.
How many acts of kindness,
How many prayers have I offered?
Even I do not know.

I asked for only one wish
That you'd always stay close to me.
Which prayer reached the heavens first?
I simply do not know.

But today... what a beautiful day it is... (2x)
The world feels brighter,
The wind feels lighter.
My smile refuses to leave my face.

Mom asked, "What's gotten into you today?"
How could I ever tell her...
Today is our First Meeting.

Before we met, There were dreams unfinished,
A thousand wishes,
A thousand silent cravings.
Now it feels They're finally completed,
As though every prayer has now been answered.

How can I tell these longing eyes
This isn't a dream come true?
Someone pinch these trembling hands...
This feels too good to be true.

My heartbeat keeps on racing,
My restless eyes keep shaking.
Why do these hands keep trembling?
Can someone explain this feeling?

Should I see a doctor,
Looking like this?... (2x)
But he'll ask me the very same thing "What happened?"
How could I explain to him...
Today is our First Meeting.

And then...

Here I stand, getting ready,
Just to finally see you.
Time moves slow,
Peace won't stay,
I don't know what to do.

The bracelet's packed, The ring is too.
Then one more thought comes through
Should I bring a single red rose,
Just for you?

And perhaps she's coming too,
Watching every road for me... (2x)
Surely her heart Must be racing just like mine.
After all... This is her First Meeting too. (2x)

Then...

A face beneath your flowing scarf,
Your kohl guarding those eyes.
Even stepping off the bus,
You looked like heaven in disguise.

Here... Give me your bag,
Don't strain your shoulders so.
I'd never let the slightest burden
Touch you as we go.

And...

I could praise you in thousand ways
From your eyes, To your glowing cheeks.
From your lips, To your gentle ears.
From your footsteps, To your flowing hair.
Even the flowers resting there.

What if my own loving gaze
Brings an evil eye your way?
Should I close these eyes instead,
Or freeze this perfect day?

You're so breathtaking,
So divine...Should I stop
The hands of time?

But...

Listen... This meeting's nearing its end.
Please walk home safely,
The evening starts to descend.
Shall we choose The day we'll meet again?
Because this restless heart mine
Already longs to see you again.

Summary

Love often begins with a single glance. The moment your eyes first meet the one you love, something changes forever. You may have never seen God, yet in that person, you somehow feel His presence.

"The First Meeting" is the story of someone who waited endlessly to meet the love of their life. Countless prayers were whispered, countless hopes were held onto, and when the long-awaited day finally arrived, joy overflowed beyond words.

The heart began to race, hands started trembling, and time itself seemed to stand still. Yet, as evening slowly arrived and the meeting drew to an end, another feeling quietly took its place, he longing to meet again.
