You and Me

Eternity contains therein
The essence of what might have been,
The words you would have said to me
And I to you reciprocally,
If sooner our two hearts had met
And never friends but lovers set.
O what a heart wrenched tragedy
Of you and him, not you and me.

This is so beautifully written, I can feel the longing, the hope, the desire of the speaker, wishing to have pursued when the chance might have been opportune.

Thank you so much, I'm so happy that you enjoyed it. :)

This is a timeless msg done with an interesting simplicity . . . you don't express emotion or use imagery to symbolize emotion, yet you reel off the facts about how this all went down, & we catch the fullness of the emotion implied. I love your rhyme & rhythm, very sophisticated/elevated & that's what makes this feel a little "distant" (in contrast to a more raw emotional delivery) Fondly, Margie

The sadness of a love hoped for oneself, only to be passed by for another :( I think we've all been there at one time or another. This beautiful yet tragic poem is right up there with the best of 'em! Beautiful!

This is a beautiful piece of writing Adam. Such depth of feeling, that you conveyed perfectly to this reader.
Last two lines, particularly poignant.

Well done

This piece is engaging of both mind and heart. It is so well written, that one could envision the scenes unfold. It's like a movie made with words. It just flows, beautifully and effortlessly.
Amazing! Well done! 👌👌👌
