Ah me, that love so fleeting and so rare
Should touch me for a moment, and then fly,
Never to return. Love divinely fair,
So tender and so sweet, I can just sigh
That you were briefly mine, but now despair,
As alone once more, in dull grief I lie.
The truth I ponder, so in sadness now to yield,
And think no more our hearts were destined to defer
The march of time; the hard and brutal truth revealed
Not truly soul mates, merely friends is what we were,
And foolish my belief that ever I appealed
To something deep in you. For now you will demur
And wish me well, and say in time I will be healed,
Once more to seek, and finding know that it is her

A sonnet?

points for not saying so, I actually like some of the rhymes, point for defer and demur at the EOL, would have been cool with another to match despair. I'll look the other way for the inverted syntax. Nice enjambement.

BTW do yourself a favour, spread the submissions out, you have three today?
