Tethered To a Moment
I recall the moment I first saw you,
my heart practically jumped from my chest.
For at that magical moment, I knew
that you were different from all the rest,
and I smiled when your smile came into view.
Time stopped; sealing that feeling forever
in the memory of my heart and soul.
There's no doubt in my mind whatsoever
that I was broken, and you made me whole,
a bond that even death cannot sever.
Love can be traced to that moment in time
that epitome of a happy thought.
You gave me your heart, and I gave you mine,
and doubt was replaced by the joy love brought,
for even belated hope tastes sublime.
Tethered to that moment, reality
and fantasy intertwine in my mind.
And I liken that first meeting to be
like gaining my sight after being blind,
then slowly realizing; I can see.
