That Moment

Life can be lovely when you least expect it:)

It was a mere moment,

I couldn't tell you exactly what time it was,

Exactly how old he was,

(or exactly how drunk he was).

I can't tell you exactly what he looked like,

Exactly what he was thinking,

Or exactly what he saw in me.

However, I can tell you

How smooth his hands were,

Guiding me into a twirl

Like we were at some grand ball

Instead of a hot, sweaty music fest.

I can tell you how soft his lips were,

As they pressed eagerly to mine,

Like the kiss of a butterfly,

With that exhilaration as it's about to fly.

I can tell you how lovely it felt,

As The Cure played in the distance,

And just for one small second 

The world melted away,

And I wanted it to stay that way.

I can tell you how sorry I am I left,

But I can't tell you his name,

And sometimes I regret that I can't.

Author's Note

Thank you!

When a moment is as magical as the one you so beautifully describe, no need for a name. ..a name is a label, and these moments shall never have a label. ;)) nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.

It is the little things in life that count. This piece is uniquely expressed and beautifully written. I almost didn't see your author's note there, but now I can see why these words are real. I also give you credit for the rhyming scheme. I am a sucker for poems that rhyme.

Thank you for sharing.

This is the magic that is love... those moments that melt into us... that we sense awakening... months... years later... Thank you for sharing such a sweet, beautiful deep sigh in the music of your life... Made me smile in my own recollections... :)

This gave me goose bumps, I really enjoyed reading this, I only wish I had more moments like this in my life.
Sometimes it doesn't matter who it is, it matters what we feel and just how memorable the moment is. It's how good the moment is that is the reason that you remember it, and whoever this lad was, he surely made an impact on you. Now you know what you want from all your special moment. I'm guessing it took you a long time just to think of words to describe that moment, because none seemed good enough, for a nameless boy, but a sad and happy moment altogether.

I can remember such a moment and this poem brought back the memory so clearly it was if the years simply melted away. The only small difference is I knew his name, but it made no difference, he still left.
