A Lifetime In A Moment

Sometimes passion flares.

The white hot burn consumes the body, the mind, the soul.

Age doesn’t matter, nor does race, nor gender,

nor what is considered beautiful or handsome.

Their body wants what it wants… and takes it from you,

as you take it hungrily from them.

You grow.

Together, over time, forming a team.

Undaunted, unbreakable, becoming a family.

A Love in the truest sense.

Maturity bringing a smoldering trust and peace as you know the bond is forever.

Sometimes… this happens in the span of an accidental brushing of a hand,

a furtive glance, an unexpected locking of the eyes and heart.

That single look of recognition of an

entire life lived together that will never happen- in that smallest of instants.

The only evidence of that life… a single unbidden tear.
