An Instant

Is love a fleeting moment in life’s history 
for which we strive?

An opportunity for us to make ourselves feel good?

To achieve that state of euphoria which 
can render us helpless in the twinkling of an eye, 
a smile, touch, a sigh, a look, all of which 
can take our breath away in an instant?

Yes, it is that and so much more. 

We cry, we fight, we get upset.

We are sad and glad because we know that 
in an instant, that fleeting moment which is 
our euphoria, will return over and over again, 
it is who we are
