The Moment When

"the moment when"

tis not the reason why
or even the moment when
our glances first met
and we uttered half words

nor was it the initial kiss
when taking my hand drawing me near
or the call to say you were home
telling me tenderly good night

twas that one fine day with a playful note
somehow my teasing words sparked in you
leading us to the timing all was true
I came home to a sign from sun and moon

the returned note of play was one heartbeat
such a light and rush will live forever strong
it's safely in my box of our private treasures
it was that moment when I knew I loved you

Chris Green March 28, 2017 at 10:09 AM There is always that moment when we know, when that spark becomes a flame, when admiration becomes adoration and it feels so good when it happens. I love the note kept in the box of private memories because sometimes those moments become faint and we'd really like to never forget, regardless of the outcome. Very nicely written and expressed Lisa. Lisa Ricci March 28, 2017 at 10:20 AM top of the day to you Chris. Hi. Thank you Thank you. I hope the concept worked. As always, your commentary and intake are so generous. May love never be forgotten for him or for her. And yes that moment is magical. Have a wonderful afternoon.
