The Prompt You Say! - 11. Prompt 133 - A Moment in Time

A Moment in Time

He was taller, thinner, but attractive in a Texan way

Slow talking, sweet kissing, tender loving gentleman

Who, with barely a word, stole my heart that first day

And never let me forget it during our time together.

We were opposites, of that you can be sure.

Him the gentle giant, me the big bear in a glass world.

We came together for but the blink of an eye

But lord he kissed me till my toes curled.

Our time was just too short but isn’t that life

A visit, a span, a slice of time gone too fast

However fast it was at least there was no strife

And the memories are bittersweet to recall

Red hot passion to cooler flames of friendship

The passing of time and moving away from one another

Time passes faster than you once thought it did

While love finds one, the wait begins for the other.

Memories remain to fill in long span between then and now

But a first love remembered and a kiss beneath a holly bough

A treasure worth the time, a pain sweetly earned.
