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. 8/26/2021
