I'Ll Never Love Like That Again

The simplicity of a touch
  innocent and insurmountable
  born of friendship
honest, open, true
 how could it have existed
 beyond the us we knew?

Long gone
 the days of youthful innocence,
 would that we could return.

If only for a moment
 like a candlelit
 full of brilliant light
warm encompassing
 passionate and full of life
 full of warmth and love.

The reality is
 unless maintained 
 without understanding, hearing and listening
I'll never love like that again.

This is heartbreaking, DM. A candle flame snuffed, a great love faded. Beautifully melancholy.
