We all feel like this once in your lives about someone.. I have had a terrible experience in love.. I wasted a lot of my life loving the wrong person.. If only I were a little more sensible to know that the desire to have that one last kiss doesn't equal to have the woman back.. What's gone is gone, maybe for good, but those fleeting moments will always be there when we will want to have it.. Thanks Barry.. A beautiful poem.
