We met years ago, or only yesterday.

It was a long exchange of thoughts and sharing,

It was a silent “hello” as we passed each other on a walking trail.

But it was something else.

There she sits, these moments of splendor,

Crowned with the beauty of love without agenda,

Humanity caring for humanity, one on one,

Even the instant can be savored and tasted again, proving itself both worthy and wonderful.

For the noticed encounter is the one which I can own; forever.

And only regret a time when I was less sensitive,

Sending a million apologies to those I ignored,

For whatever reason.

So now; just know I miss you and I love you.
