she always told me

“fall in love with moments dear”

                and I never quite knew what she meant

until tonight

it wasn’t when you leaned down

   to touch your lips to mine

it wasn’t the warmth of your body

   leaning against me

it wasn’t the feeling of safety

   wrapped in your arms

it was when your hand

gently touched my cheek

as our lips connected

and my heart skipped a beat

i fell in love with that moment

knowing

no one will ever want anything

more than I want you
