Sa'Ida Poem by TIJANI ADEBOWALE DESTINY

One brief moment
in time,
yet a golden
memory that will
shine forever.
I can still see
the sun shimmering
on your skin,
lighting a smile
that left me weak.
I leaned into
your every word,
as if they
were holy,
finding grace
in everything
about you.
The world faded
around me until
all I could see
was you,
and suddenly,
I abandoned everything
that I ever dreamed,
and ever wanted to be,
because I realized
that I only wanted
to be with you forever.
I still feel that way,
and you still have
the power to move me,
and make each moment
of my life wonderful!
