An Eternal Moment

We became close as we danced 
to the beat of our hearts into eternity.
And upon that beat, 
we became mesmerized in each other's glory.

I inhaled the scent of that moment 
to the very last second.
It mixed well with sweet aroma 
that radiated from her skin.
Drawing me in like pheromones.
We locked eyes and then I paused 
just to internalize it all.

It was a mere moment of only maybe 4 seconds.
But it seemed to last a lifetime.
Because for that span of time 
I looked to the past and to the future. 
Remembering how things were 
and how things would, could, and probably will be.
The foreshadowing of my dreams coming true. 
That moment, that decision, 
I knew would change my life forever.
And I would eternally sense 
nostalgia every second following.

From that moment on, 
now and forever, 
her essence would linger in my mind. 
Love began to step from the shadows into the light 
and after the slightest kiss, 
it would fully emerge like morning sun rays. 
I gazed into the gloss in her eyes 
and the specks of light 
as they enlightened my soul.

Turning back from the touch of our lips would be impossible.
Falling in love with her would change me indefinitely. 
To point that our love and the memory of her 
would be embedded in my DNA.

And then suddenly, 
I let myself fall into an intoxication fueled by dopamine.
The desire for the four letter word
that I could only define as 
her and I, defined itself.
We kissed and eternity began its reign of magic 
on our hearts of condensed passion.
And now there's no looking back.
Because she will forever be a part of my future.
