Tethered To a Moment

I recall the moment I first met you, my heart practically jumped from my chest. For, at that magical moment, I knew that you were different from all the rest, and I smiled when your smile came into view. Time stopped, locking that feeling forever in the memory of my heart and soul. There's no doubt in my mind whatsoever that I was broken, yet you made me whole, a bond that even death cannot sever. Love can be traced to that moment in time; that epitome of a happy thought. You gave me your heart, as I gave you mine, and doubt was replaced by the joy love brought; for even belated hope tastes sublime. Tethered to that moment, reality and fantasy intertwine in my mind. And I liken our first meeting to be like regaining sight after being blind, and slowly realizing I can see.
