It is all so far away from me, <br />That passion that longing that supreme pleasure- <br />I don’t think I can even really remember it again, <br />What it was to long so and wait so and want so and embrace so- <br />I know I cannot remember- <br /> <br />How she was everything for me <br />All I ever wanted in life <br />How I would have given my life for her <br />How I just in being with her felt totally alive and happy <br />And how in our caresses there was all the joy I had ever dreamed- <br /> <br />It has been so long ago- <br />And I cannot ever hope to touch what we in our years of joy <br />Shared so eagerly- <br /> <br />Now that is all gone <br />And my remembrance too cannot touch it.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-don-t-believe-i-can-write-a-love-poem-again/
