I can so feel this poem.. It is amazing the choices we have and the ones we make in haste, the ones we make out of loyalty in love. Very wonderful poem.

Bonnie, A short, succinct piece... exceptional all the way! Robert

The memories of first love never fade as Wordsworth says for Daffodills, 'they flash upon that inward eye which is the bliss of solitude.' And say as Keats says about the lovers on the Grecian Urn: Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard Are sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on; Not to the sensual ear, but, more endear'd, Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone: Fair youth, beneath the trees, thou canst not leave Thy song, nor ever can those trees be bare; Bold Lover, never, never canst thou kiss, Though winning near the goal—yet, do not grieve; She cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss, For ever wilt thou love, and she be fair! It is like wandering again and again in the memory lane to perpetuate the bliss.

Susceptible tender piece, the recollection of the petite past, urges to hold back banishing any regret but evicting any addition to unpleasant ones, the compressed style makes it thought provoking…poetic and emotional…..liked reading it.

Very strong and to the point. Thanks Tracker

This touched me right to my very marrow.I could almost feel your pain.Those of us who have been there can identify.

An aptly titled reverie of no regrets. The poem is spot on, brief, powerful and poignant. Rgds, Ivan
