There was this moment; perfect and eternal.
It was happiness, and passion.
There was a yearning for some sense of my purpose there.
I saw her and was immediately awestruck, without expression, and at loss for words.
I felt full and complete, and terrified at once, to consider the future here was folly, a fools venture.
To look into your eyes, was to see wonder, fear and awe, was love there yet?
I remembered a loss, and another I'd not held in years, and vowed to be better.
Each second was infinite.
I believed in perpetual potential there and then, you alone gave me hope.
On days like today I wonder where I've failed you, how far removed from that moment are we.
Have I let you down, had my father taken time with me, would I be more forgiving?
I hope that my scars are lessons learned, dues paid on your behalf.
God willing, I leave this as a road map for you.
