This is a very lovely piece! Almost all the whole lines are very beautiful. Through your imagination you could sense, feel and touch this elegant woman from a distance. Sometimes our memory play back and replays our romantic relationships we had in the past. And this gives us a moment feeling of love and joy that is shortlived!

I just heart this piece the way it was written!

Elegant and enormously gratifying!

it is a sorrow filled picture you have left us readers with. we can only assume what became of the couple. he may have died or left the girl. with these lines I guess he passed away:

And on these hot summer days
I am left to picture your hand
Reaching across a dimension
To once more fit in mine

always, Cat

piece has a sad connotation to it. Love your style. Keep well.

I've missed your writing. This poem is a good reason for writing the time, date and people on the back of every photograph.
I have many pictures that are precious, but when I am gone, the memory will be too, and people will say; "I wonder who was in that picture with him? What is that story? I like this piece a lot. ~ Geez.

Sorry someone you cared so deeply for is separated from your over space and time. The poem is absolutely beautiful. If I have one suggestion it concerns stanza 5

Something I, the girl, is no longer.
I miss your hand
I miss the feel the smell the taste
I miss everything about you

That first line, is that a typographical error or a misplaced comma. I understand what it says but it reads a little off to me. Otherwise an amazing poem.

Great job,
Tim
