It only takes a moment

Today I drove past SC, which is funny, because it's been one year, and today I downloaded and started listening to Bon Jovi, whom I haven't listened to since our first date when "Livin' on a Prayer" was playing in the bowling alley.

Isn't it interesting how things can change so suddenly, so quickly?

"Then a prince, then a moment..."

One moment you meet someone in the gym...another moment, you decide you don't care.

And then, for the next year, you experience random moments where you question that decision.

But then a plane crashes, the plane that could have been his, and for that moment you feel all the old anxiety.

"One peculiar, passing moment..."

And the next moment you see him driving down the street wearing a white shirt and tie. And you remember all the moments, the good ones and the bad ones, and you're grateful for those moments. Even though you did throw them away.

"Let the moment go. Don't forget it for a moment, though."
