In that very moment
In instance if you noticed
A Teddy bear that is a cherished gift
Chestnuts and the Rockerfeller Center Christnas tree
A friend who became best friend and love of your life
He gave you his last name and did not mind if you kept yours next to his
Just one look with hugs that still greet you daily
A kiss you can still taste years later
Driving just for the sake of spending time together with no place to go
And then it happens
And then it happens
You are loved your whole life long
There is nobody else that will do

While walking in the woods one day
A Grizzly Bear came upon a grisly scene.
A Cougar had killed a Lumberjack
And was munching on his carcass.
The bear decided to join in, but soon
Opined the meat was far too gristly
So he deemed it grist for the Cougar
And he slowly walked away.

Too much fun to take this seriously.  Another entry in BLT's Merriam Webster word of the day contest. Love like-sounding words with different meanings Todays word was Grisly.

Leaving the place you’re going to,
my ultimate regret
a thorny road of promised dreams
I fled but can’t forget

Leaving the place that claims my heart,
still beating—buried deep
your pathway marked with blood I shed
whose wound this distance weeps
