Pride in Your Presence

"The infinitely little have a pride infinitely great." ~Voltaire

I felt the strongest of connections

I felt the gears turn in my mind

I felt my heart swell in my body

I felt my inner sparks ignite.

I felt the tingles spread through myself

And when I breathed my throat caught

I felt a bond that could not be broken

I felt you'd join me if I fought. 

I felt, best of all,

Pride erupting true as truth

That I feel with no one else

Since you stand with me, and I with you.
