The day that started forever

I cannot remember the date
But I can never forget the day
It was an ordinary encounter
With the seeds of forever

I had to have her number
Poetry was birthed in my heart
Though she was still a stranger
She held the promise in her

The years have rolled by since that day
Many tears and laughter along the way
I am stealing a moment today
To say thank you, for that day
