I Lived One Moment

A Love Poem

I still remember that one moment, When you ran to me and hugged me tight, It was as if the world had stopped turning, And time had taken flight.

I remember the way your hair flowed, In the wind as you sprinted towards me, And how your laughter filled the air, As you closed the distance between us.

Your eyes glistened with tears of joy, As you whispered softly in my ear, “I missed you more than words can say, I’m so glad you’re finally here.”

That moment, so pure and true, Has become a precious pearl, A memory that I hold onto, Through the twists and turns of the world.

If I were to define life now, I would say it’s that one moment, When you came running towards me, And all else became insignificant.

The days since then have come and gone, And I’ve lived them just to stay alive, But that one moment remains, The reason why I still survive.

And now that I am old and grey, I still live in that moment every day, For it’s the one thing that will never fade, The love that came my way.
