To the Grave

You've only been gone a few hours
True love is a planet of power
Time seems to stand still
Normal obstacles transform into a gigantic hill
I want to tell you about my day
We're past that part
It's way too late

Your laugh and touch are now memories
I miss your weird and interesting stories
When you kiss my hand and mind
The rare good acts for those show your kind
Perseverance and passion are fruits I favor
Those times I thought about telling you later
How much I loved you was a mistake
Having not said “I love you” now
A burden I'll take to the grave

It is sad in a sense when we say a poem like this is wonderful. I mean the story of regret, a lost hope, a sad conclusion of mutual experience, words not said, I think you get the point. The poem IS absolutely wonderful for the many emotions it stirs. Great job.
