I don't know, Peter. It's been my experience that the memories are far sweeter left where they are ... sometimes the relationship pales when forced back into the light. Very well done.
Hugs,
CJ
Another wonderfully tactile write Sir Peter the Skillful. The image superbly compliments the sentiment of this piece.
Whether in this life or the next, it is good to hope that we will see another, especially those who have touched us so undeniably.

Peter, this explores such romantic avenues and I find the closing lines a wonderful lead towards a positive fulfilment. Just superb, as ever. Love Panda :)
Peter,
You quite adeptly give new meaning to the term "the one that got away", in this very bold enterprise; collosal confidence, indeed! LOL
Life can hand you some very unique twists and turns...and opportunities..
May all your romantic dreams come to pass!
Love&Prayers, Rhonda awesome graphic & quote!
Totally ADORE the Rumi quote... totally intoxicated by your application of it and bowled over by its power. Has the classic lyricism of all the old 60's ballads about forever-love and soulmates... seems the 60's was the quintessential era for understanding of these things... Must be the John and Yoko factor!! :)) I hope Lynn gets to read this... who knows... she may just have signed up to AD... stranger things happen, Peter...!! LOL Kate xx
This reminds me of that song by Harry Chapin

how two old sweethearts meet up again
I once met my first love on a subway platform, in manhattan, maybe 12 yrs after we dated.
Wow.....time sure changes things! lol
He recognized me......I would not have remembered him, until he spoke.
But it was sad. He became all full fledged junkie, in jail, and rehab....he had just gotten out a few months before when we met. So he was healthy. Although he had his teeth knocked out of his pretty face in jail, and lost tons of weight. When he was young he looked like a finer featured version of Patrick Swayze, but after looked like a Egyptian mummy with hair. Poor guy.
He was the only one from my past(that I cared for) I ever ran into
with the exception of an internet connection.
My senior high school boyfriend contacted me after 30 yrs to bust my chops for not going to our 30th renunion.
Now we email occasionally and send each other jokes!
Life is weird huh......
Don't care to meet anymore!
Memories are safer.........
ah well.........pax a
Beautiful rememberance, Peter; very well done! BRAVO!
(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D

Indeed one often thinks of past loves wondering how they are and if we will meet again..
I reckon you just may see her again..if so..um..then what?..OOPS!
An entrancing memory Peter...we all have our once in a lifetimes haunting our heart but even more amazing is when the answers to all those "I wonders" are revealed and a once in a lifetime becomes unexpectedly and sublimely two!
Love,
Taylor
You are such a gentelman Peter! To remember and to say you'll meet again is the greatest thing any woman can hear. It makes it all worthwhile, and special! Splendid write Sir Paton!
I think this sums up the topic of hot loves that got away quite truly. I think we all had at least one wild crazy lover who was either a hellcat or wildcat and who we will always wonder about. Also as your poem suggests we alway seem to wait for their return good or bad.
Sherlyn Powell opens up about her love and devotion to her family and the overwhelming repercussion when communication breaks down. Heartbroken and distraught she learns to release her prayer and realize with faith God would reunite her family.
