| Moment by Rebekah Griffin Greene It was just a moment, but in that moment I saw you... Your heart overrode the mask you had put up, and I saw how you really felt... You gushed at my smile after we laughed together, but it was just a moment... A moment of connection, realization, lightning... You really cared about me, and it welled up into your eyes, but only for a moment... A flash, a nanosecond, but long enough for me to see the truth... That we had affected each other over the course of time, That I meant something to you, however briefly we had known each other, and the connection had made it to your heart, and I wept later as I realized the truth in that moment, the honesty, the longing in your eyes, because I have known that longing for my entire life and never been on the other side of it... And I wanted to be yours, and in that moment I was, and you need to know that I wish I could reverse my chronology and be yours forever, but since that's impossible, I will have to freeze that moment in my heart, like Beauty's rose in an airless glass, a fragile flower blooming for an eternity... |
