Bittersweet, yet lovely and honest, Peter, and such beautiful thoughts to hold onto. Memories are cherished like diamonds and are ours forever. No one can ever take them away. As a friend, I'm so thankful you knew her.
Many hugs,
CJ

I suppose memories are better than nothing but they can bring a flutter of wistful sadness to the heart. Nicely done, Peter. Love and peace,

Exceptional write, Peter, that captures the forlornness each of us experiences somewhere in our lives.

The last two lines are memorial.

those liaisons that we take for granted
are often the ones, that are snatched away

How sadly true, for very many. And you've just reminded me of a similar female who once captivated my heart and soul, in what seems like another lifetime now.

Life truly does contain many memorable moments, and you've penned one of yours extremely well, Peter.

So true Peter, it oft raises the question wether fate has someone else lined up...or not. Moving rememberance my friend.

timing can be so important in a relationship ... much depends on the energy we apply to stimulate its continuing presense or sometimes is just fate that pulls us away from it remaining vital in our lives ... and then all we can do is move on ...

So many people we encounter throughout our lives , yet there is always those that make a lasting impression whom we tuck away in our hearts forever. Timing isn't always on our side. Excellent Peter!

Magnanimous one ...

I love that word "sylph" especially when it is used in context to those elemental souless females that inhabit the atmosphere. Don't hear it often. Goodun!

Shall we tip a glass then to those ephemeral moments that hang unchallenged in the halls of our memories. Those moments and friends that remain forever etched into us.

Such a remarkable and mysterious journey life is Sir Peter the Poignant. A great write, a steady hand, and an enlightened quill.

Kudos and Benisons ...

Bird in the hand's worth two in the pasture, Peter! But no one can ever take away your memories, even of the wrens that flew away. It's a sure thing they have memories of you.

Sad love story my friend but also one that takes a moment to realize those feelings will never dissappear only the reality of the physical.
