For just a moment time froze.
Your eyes held mine, and suddenly all was clear.
I saw the dates and laughter.
I saw you on one knee and the glittering ring.
I saw the white dress and dim lighting as we danced.
I saw the baby and long, sleepless nights.
I saw the fights that would always end in you kissing away my tears.
I saw the joy and happiness.
I saw the grief and frustration.
I saw everything that makes up life.
Then I blinked, and the spell was broken.
You shook your head as though in a trance.
And for a moment I forgot how to breathe as you made your way over to me.
