I remember the first time I saw you.
Walking towards me in the heat of the day.
I remember that first conversation.
Hours of intimacy, our skin pruned and blistered from the water and sun.
I remember that feeling of connection.
Immediate ease, our bodies in unconscious rhythm.
I remember the endless days awaiting your arrival.
Airport greetings, my heart leaping and skin tingling.
I remember the soft downy covers.
Sheltered from head to toe, your heart on mine.
I remember knowing we were forever.
When just the sight of you
or the sound of your voice
or the touch of your hand
feels like the first time.
Another prompt from dear Kellie that gets to the heart of the matter. In love and in life it is always the small moments that count.

So beautiful. How can one not believe in love with words like these.
You are so kind! When I sat down with the prompt, the visions just played out in words.
This is lovely Kim! “I remember the soft downy covers.
Sheltered from head to toe, your heart on mine.” These moments are what love is made for. Great work, as always 🙂
And thank you for kind words! I love doing these prompts and I especially like to read others’ perspectives and interpretations.
You’re welcome! I love it too! It’s always so intriguing to see the different ways everyone uses the prompts 🙂
Remembering these parts of love is what carries us through the tough times.
Nicely done! 🙂
Thank you! It is important to keep love’s essence in mind through all the day to day drudgery!
I’ve probably read this three times now. I just love it. Your words are so powerful and beautiful, in equal measure. ❤
AWW Thank you! I wrote it at 5:30 yesterday morning just before yoga class. Never written in a post dream state before. 🙂
I agree with Colline. Your words really evoke the magic and wonder of love. The semi dream state you wrote gives your words a dreamlike power. Beautiful.
Thank you Suzanne!

Thank you very much! Five years later, I still hold these images in my mind and heart. I have been blessed!
AND I now have Etta’s ‘At Last’ in my head 🙂
LOL! That song was in my head when I was writing it. Whenever I hear it, I think of him. 🙂
