This poem is too beautiful and a bit sad... anyone who has been in a 'what could have been' love situation will definately relate and take comort. A lot of people do come across what could be their greates love but distance or circumstances prevails... and all that you are left with is the good memories of that great moment. Beautiful!

much is written in a compressed way

In my view this has much more power than Phenomenal Woman. So succinct and so poignant in its depiction of the power and essence of the boundless emotion of love. It strikes right to the heart of the matter in a handful of words.
