when did the lion fall in love?

I cannot remember when exactly it is I fell in love with you, but... I am sure I was at least a little smitten with you since the day you asked me to be your first knight. You were so radiant- and not merely in the way expected of a God. It was the way the sunlight caught in your hair like a soft halo, the way you smiled so brilliantly, even the way you held yourself and the way you spoke so firmly yet so amicably, every inch of you in and out and the very air around you was so *radiant*. I was drawn magnetically to you, like a moth to flame, like a sunflower looks to the sun, and I was loathe to take my eyes from you. I have been ever since. That day, seeing you, it sent my heart fluttering, I could hardly breathe at the sight, though it's taken me this many years to understand what that meant. And every sight of you since has done the same to me to this very day, my Lord... my Love.
