That moment that mattered
When you stop to cherish their breath. A personal note.
I caught your eyes as you looked so imploringly,
I caught glimpses of your thoughts when you looked at me.
Were you wondering if you are loved, wanted?
It crushed to bear the weight of guilt as my fingers danced to their own rhythm
My eyes caught in the rectangular light like a moth to a flame.
It made me stop and think before the tears came.
Time continues to move indifferent to this moment.
The rhythm of life playing different melodies on a whim
If I could I'd want to root us to this point.
Shaking, I had to stop, wondering what I was doing?
I had to say it, like a spell that needed to be spoken.
To feel you and whisper those words as I showered you with kisses.
My hands pressed against the innocence of your skin .
The image of my tears reflected on those puffy eyes.
And a hug that bore the burden of your future life.
Let this moment be etched in your blossoming heart.
The words that should often be spoken, often forgotten.
A rhythm for life, a lifelong lullaby.
I love you.
I will always do.
Authors note:
The best moments are the ones often overlooked.
This was beautiful, Ika💖
