first

Spinning, twirling, cascading onward in the embrace of chance...
the axis of my world tilted the clandestine instant my eyes first locked on yours. A racing, pounding, unfamiliar giddy delight coursed through my veins at the utterances of our first 'goodbye'. The pensive, poignant, pondering smile that determined to spread and linger instilled evidence of a fortuitous promise - though lacking all gamble and weighing only of true supernatural faith - of inarguable, indubitable true love in a most elegant preliminary blossom.

Now in love's full bloom, vulnerable petals unveiled in a vibrant unfurling, I gaze back on that moment, that pause in the albeit incorrigable march of time, and I withold a certain intoxicating sigh, entirely and wholly aware of the forever that was lurking in the beautiful corners of that day.
