Just like Yesterday

@Uootem

there was once a special time... a time when she touched my life.
    she was my first real love... and will always hold that unique place in me.
          for even today, I can recall what it meant to be in love with her
              as if it had just happened yesterday... but it didn't.

the scent of her hair as it tickled my nose
    the sound of her voice as a breeze caught it
          the taste of kisses she gave freely to me
              and the graceful way she walked as if in dance.
              every detail of her lovely face as I caressed it 
          the way moonlight was filtered through her eyes
    the way she gave the summer sun a special glow
in a unique juxtaposition of coloration and silhouette.

all my senses where heightened by her presence
    my pulse quickened every time she moved near
          and in each instance I knew I was alive and loved
              such feelings burn a memory that endure for a lifetime.

I hope my poetry paints a vivid portrait for you.
    one that portrays the intensity of that singular emotion.
          when she took my hand and we walked the path of youth together
              only to eventually find our destinations so very different.

And it all is as if just yesterday... but of course it was not.
    yet, today is filled with memories of that pleasant time of life
          when she held my hand and I gave her my heart
                and the moment keeps me longing for a tomorrow... just like yesterday.
