There are always times when you witness something pleasurable,

But it only occurs once in your life

You may eat the most delicious meal you have ever had

Only to forget what it was

Or where you found the food

You could experience a feeling beyond your ken

Only to leave that feeling unexplained

Or how you were able to attain it

You can even gain lucid knowledge of an unanswered question

But lack the words to describe it out loud

Both to yourself, and to others

Still, the moment for which you truly yearn

Is to meet the most interesting, droll, whimsical, yet mindful person you have ever met

Only to lose them, and never see them again after just one day

One day of eating the most delicious meal with them

Only to forget the taste and texture of what made it so enjoyable

One day of feeling serenity and understanding with that person

Only to lose it and forget how it felt once that person is gone

One day to fully understand your own role in the world, and how you can impact it

Only to lose that sense of purpose and leave your inner knowledge unspoken

Since you were only able to find it with the help of that friend

Still, the best thing from that experience you can keep

Is the knowledge that there will be a profusion of similar experiences

As long as you open yourself to the world.
