I smiled when I saw your face
I touched and felt it
As if I were there
The moment had taken place
Affixed and immobile I stood
As time captured it.
Joyful memories flood my eye wells
As smiles embed and retrace
Footprints from memory banks
Unlocking past reflections
Restoring that first loved feeling.
Momentarily trapped in time yet
Happily taken back, I must admit.
Reminiscing on the days
We first met reimagining the
Introductions to conversations that
Started our friendship and led up
To where we left off.
Wandering thoughts left
To wonder to what could’ve been
Have gracefully bowed out to
What is now and of today.
I am humbled and blessed,
Appreciative and honored
To have you in my life,
My heart and my soul.
You are truly a blessing from God.
I thank Him for you every day
That is and has been.
And it is with the increasing
Surrounding volume
I return to reality smiling.
Gently released from my stasis
Reminded of what will always be.
Although time and choices
Set us on separate journeys,
Despite the distance between us
And our wonderful world of technology
Our bond remains
Forever captured.
