Please Read and review. Constructive criticism wanted.

This poem starts at the point furthest in the future and ends at the point earliest in the past. In other words, it goes backwards through time with each paragraph.

Since the first time you sat down next to me,
I knew everything was perfect.

Since the first time you allowed me into your room to talk,
I knew that things had changed for the better.

Since that first time I told you what I had kept hidden,
I knew how unfounded my fears were.

Since the first time your face brightened because I entered the room,
I knew that I could no longer procrastinate what I had to do.

Since the first time I forced myself to read a book beside you,
I knew that there was not anything else more important to me.

Since the first time I made you smile,
I knew I was addicted to the sight before me.

Since the first time you looked at me for just a second longer than you usually do,
I knew that I could never give up on my dream.

Since the first time I snuck a sip of your herbal tea,
I knew just how wrong I could be about some things.

Since the first time I spent less than a day without seeing you,
I knew that I would never allow that to happen again.

Since the first time I completely understood your heritage,
I knew I was willing to do whatever was needed of me for you.

Since the first time you tried my tofu,
I knew that you were a horrible liar.

Since the first time I blackmailed you into playing a video game with me,
I knew just how quickly you can pick up one some things.

Since the first time we were left alone in the tower together,
I knew that solitude had its limits for even you.

Since the first time you complemented me hidden inside an insult (I liked that hat),
I knew you were not as cold as you made yourself out to be.

Since the first time I saw you completely broken,
I knew exactly what I had to say.

Since the first time you looked at another the way I looked at you,
I knew exactly the lengths jealousy would take me to.

Since the first time the thing that haunts me was let out,
I knew you at least had a hunch why it protected you and no other.

Since the first time you comforted me,
I knew that I would never doubt again.

Since the first time I was completely destroyed inside,
I knew I doubted if I would ever feel again.

Since the first time I let myself fall for someone new,
I knew I doubted what I felt for you.

Since the first time you said thank you,
I knew I would grin like an idiot for the rest of the day.

Since the first time I saw what really goes on inside your head,
I knew I felt just a little bit closer to you.

Since the first time you touched me,
I knew that my heart would never slow down.

Since the first time you healed me,
I knew I could always count on you.

Since the first time you looked at me emotionlessly,
I knew I would make that change.

Since the minute I laid eyes on you,
I knew I loved you, Raven.
