THAT DAY, THAT PLACE and time

 

That Day, That Place and Time

That day, a moment crystallized—

etched in my mind,

held still in time,

a memory polished to perfection.  I knew you then,

no proof required,

no words demanded—

an understanding

as clear as dawn breaking.  What I needed was mirrored back,

a pull, unspoken yet shared,

like two racers

crossing the line as one.

Your presence confirms it—

your beauty, raw and steady,

woven into the honeyed sound

of my name on your lips.  Your voice becomes my song,

a rhythm we step to,

matched and effortless.

Respect and trust rise

like a foundation laid brick by brick,

solid beneath us.  And when the day unfolds,

a smile finds me—

unbidden, bright—

because you make me better,

because your existence

spills light into countless lives,

an endless, intoxicating gift.  No shadow of envy lingers here,

no flicker of small jealousies—

just pride, radiant and sure,

a beam stretching from me to you,

a spotlight on what’s true.

I stand here,

whole,

rooted,

and moved by you.
