Sanctity

I remember vividly the day I first laid eyes on you, it was like

Watching the sunrise over the morning dew

So fresh and full of promise

Yet so cold from the long period of darkness you just went through

Wanting to dry your droplets like the afternoon sun

Slow and steady, I approach and I realize

Wait

Have we met before?

The taste of the words so familiar like a treat I'd been missing from childhood and didn't realize until this moment exactly how much I'd missed it

And I promise

To never miss

Again
