A Moment

In a moment
Of ordinariness,
As we stroll down
The grocery store aisle
I feel a tap
On my hip
And turn to see
You smiling,
Your hand outstretched
To hold mine.

And as I take
Your hand in mine
I smile to think of
Another moment
Long, long ago
In the beginning 
Of us
When laughter and sparks
Showered the air
And our hands
Became clasped together.

As time went on
You would hold
My hand as if
I were a cherished treasure,
Awakening the princess in me.
And you kept holding on
Over the years
Through sorrow and joy,
Your hand fitting with mine
Like a piece of puzzle.
And as we hold hands
Down the rest of the aisle
I think to myself,
May it be like this
Forever.
