In a fleeting moment where time stood still
In a space where there was no air yet I could breathe
In a time when I was barely reaching out for friendship
In a place where a beloved friend could tear you apart
In a heart that only believed it was broken beyond repair
In a soul which lacked everything including life
In a woman who ceased to live and merely existed…
A name appeared from cyber space
Beautiful, yet unrevealing
Simple words were spoken, greetings exchanged
Games were played, laughter was shared
An attraction formed, almost without notice
Destiny unfolded, a path emerged
Who could know that casual encounter would thrive…
On that day…
Two women locked glances from a distance
Two hands reached into an unseen body to capture a heart
Two arms embraced the heart and healed its wounds
Two skeptics believed in love at first sight
Two halves of the same soul finally joined
Two worlds collided and gathered in rebirth
Two lives became one…
-L.C., 2002, revised 2008 (It hasn't been a year yet... only a few months, but I'll never comprehend why I responded when you said, "Merry Meet, Winter"... why I didn't run when you invited me to private chat... why I didn't feel stalked when you came back online after saying you needed to go to bed... why I didn't flinch or hesitate when you asked for my phone number... why I fell so deeply in love with you when I swore I would never allow myself those feelings again... why I'm not frozen with fear at the thought of you moving in with me and becoming my wife - all I comprehend is I'm happier than I've ever been in my life because of it...)
