So Simple

I fall in love each time
that gentle, tender
is exposed.
Words shared
as they are woven,
unsuspecting.
The music box opens,
a little girl twirls,
a bow, a curtsy.
The treasured jewels
in simplicity,
pearls and beads
glass on strings.
Mostly,
it is the reflection
from your heart,
As sweetly,
you carry me back,
to our first glance,
the first time
we kissed.
And I realize..
it is never when
our lips touch.
It is always when
our hearts tendered
the pride.
For that moment,
it was so simple.
