MEETING YOU
I noticed your eyes so blue
They sparkled in the room
I heard your voice so calm and resonant
I saw your smile so warm and welcoming to me
I felt your handshake so strong and firm
Was it just me or did you hold my hand
Longer than you should have
Things are never as they seem
Life is short
People do crazy things
I should have told you that
Your eyes sparkled when you smiled

A memorable moment in time! Carpe diem--Seize the day! We too often let these moments slip by us!---Perhaps you should have told him that his eyes sparkle when he smiles!

I loved this write! You made him very real to me!--also reminded me of my own moment in time which I let slip through my fingers!

Love rule #1: If you think it might be, you already know it is. Your heart's just a bit too far ahead of you to hear clearly.

This is excellent.  I lived a lifetime
in my teens of those what ifs and why
didn't I,  and the hesitance and uncertainty
of the signals, ever slight,  given
subtly to another....  Love,  so powerful
yet confusing.....huh?

(smiles) God Bless You, sweet friend, I am so happy you're back as we have all missed you sooooooo much! (big hugggssssss) Love can be so confusing but I truly believe it is always worth a shot because unrequited love is always a heartbreak but if you at least try to go for love and if you get disappointment in the end, at least you knew the truth and felt for that moment what love can truly be! (sigh) May your golden heart always receive the true love it deserves, sweet friend, God Bless You, and Congratulations on 500 wonderful posts, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Roniece, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
