Tethered To The Moment

I recall the moment I first saw you, and how my heart was pounding in my chest. For in that magical moment, I knew that you were different from all the rest; the instant my smile got you to smile, too. Time stopped: locking that moment forever, in the memory of my heart and soul. There's no doubt in my mind whatsoever, that I was broken, and you made me whole; a bond that even death cannot sever. Love was tethered to that moment in time, the epitome of a happy thought. You gave me your heart, and I gave you mine, while doubt was replaced by the hope love brought, and even belated hope felt sublime. Recalling that moment: reality and fantasy intertwine in my mind. And I liken our first meeting to be like regaining sight after being blind: suddenly, I realized I could see./center>
