On Being Alone

There is
and was
and never
will be again,
the first~
glimpse
blush
flutter
brush
touch
cuddle
caress.

There is
and was
and never
will be again,
the first~
hope
honor
promise
pledge
solemn
oath
vow.

There is
and was
and never
will be again,
the first~
breath
whisper
word
maxim:
you
me
us.

A very sad deep poem Chetta, these emotions you felt and describe, are fleeting indeed, but they can be tapped into again even if only vicariously, loneliness can be fleeting too, cheers David
