Little Moments

It was a funny thing, you know? Falling in love for the first time. My heart raced every time I touched him. I can still remember how much my voice shook as I first told him I loved him. And whenever I looked into those eyes... I got lost.
He was just the only one who understood. He taught me to love. To live. To see the good in everything. And at the end of the day, it all comes back in flashes. All the little moments. Good and bad.
And I don't regret any of those little moments. I learned from some of them. And some of them made me feel alive. It's these little moments in life that we take for granted. And sometimes we don't take the time to be in those moments and enjoy them.
Sometimes we don't take advantage of that moment and we don't build the courage to say "I love you" or "I'm sorry." When we didn't take that moment to stand up for ourselves or someone who needed help. And I never did, either. Until he taught me to.
