I Lived (Poem)

I lived, I loved, and I left.

But I did not fall in love with a who,

I fell in love with a what.

A fleeting moment in time,

A feeling, a taste, a smell, a sound.

I fell in love with the little things:

The smile people have around loved ones

The taste of fresh food hitting your tongue

The sound of sweet nothings

The smell of home after a long day

And the sight of new adventures on my doorstep.

I fell in love with the little things.

That I wish everyone else could see.
