Essence of Love

Our eyes met, only for an instant
Yet something incredible had passed between us
It made us equal
More than a look, a shared moment
The exposing of each others souls 
The conveyance of some unspoken bond had formed
More than thought
More vague than definable
The essence of love
The pureness of heart
Desire, loyalty, trust, sacrifice
It was all there hiding in our eyes at that moment
And we knew it was beyond mere words
A thing that had to be felt 
And couldn’t be explained
