Something Extraordinary

I relied on you
I found each day alive with potential
I wanted to

I held your hand
I felt the earth shift with anticipation
awaiting the moment of truth

I had my something to believe in
I had that sudden sense of free fall
And as each moment passed
As time seemed only momentary
As I glanced at you
There was only something extraordinary

I put my faith in you
I trusted the world around us
Wanted this too

I kissed your lips
I felt the stars burning over us
Were swaying with the moon

I had my perfect whirlwind
I knew there was nothing better
And as the ticking of the clock delayed
As time drifted and left us to our ways
As though it was only momentary
As my eyes found you
There was only something extraordinary

Hi, AnnBrown,
Being lost in the moment, with ticking of the clock delayed, is something extraordinary. Were it not for the potential of each new moment to be extraordinary, the past tense would be unbearably sad. Thanks for sharing.
