I'm lost in a reverie.
A cloudy, soft lit, expanse in my mind
my favorite place to visit
when I'm missing you.

I linger on the moment I first saw you.

Your stride confident as you found me.
Your eyes alight with excitement reflecting my own.
You reminded me of some imagined friend I dreamed
long ago; who in that moment, found his way to the home he wanted most.

My feet carried me toward you of their own volition.

I fit into your arms so neatly.
My smiling  lips found respite in the crook of your neck
I held back bubbling giggles as you encircled me
and I listened, as the world shifted around us;
The end of life as we knew it.

In that moment I heard so much keener; saw so much clearer

The streets were bright and loud!
The earth whispered your name.
The way your gaze held me, like I was the only woman you'd ever seen.
Adoration flooded my senses.

"I love you." I knew in this moment, I had been ruined for all others.

No one could ever touch me the way you had.
No other eyes would ever see me the way you do.
No other face could carry the sun and stars upon it
to reflect back my wishes and dreams.

So many needs and wants we chase in life...
*....but it was only ever you.
