A kiss... a whisper... a gentle touch.  A brush of the fingertips.  A stroke of the hair.  These things alone can make a woman happy all day.  The smile, a hug, a kiss... can make a man happy all day.  There are so many little things that can change a persons life.  The are the things that make the difference.  Do you sense it in these words?

   I am a forty eight year old man that knows all the right things to do, but I don't.  Not enough.  I have known love and have let my past grind it to dust.  Could I correct it?  Perhaps.  If my convictions are true then I should.  It should all be worth it.  But I don't.  Why?  I think I shall be asking that of myself to my last breath.

   I suppose that I can say that a person that wishes to experience real love might have success if he or she were to read these words.  Love however, just like everything else, can pale.  Or can it?  You shall realize one day, as I have, that there are moments that define love in our lives.  Moments that are eternal to you.  It may have been the briefest of encounters, but they will be with you all your life.

   I have had my heart swell at the sight of a woman.  Maybe it was only a gesture.  Maybe only a word.  Maybe the briefest touch.  Some of those encounters stick with me for thirty years or more.  I wonder, just maybe, but I will never know.

   We spend many years of our lives remembering moments when we felt something special.  Those sweet moments.  Then we chase them, desiring only to recapture them.  Can we?  Yes.  Many many times.  We want to stay in those moments, to live in them, to never let it end... Is that possible?

   One day I would like to hunt for that moment, capture it, and never let it go.

   Words can take you there.  I know those words... Perhaps I will write them... Maybe...WW
