Refusal

A lot of people do come across what could be their greates love but distance or circumstances prevails... and all that you are left with is the good memories of that great moment.

"Refusal"
by: Maya Angelou

Beloved,
In what other lives or lands
Have I known your lips
Your Hands
Your Laughter brave
Irreverent.
Those sweet excesses that
I do adore.
What surety is there
That we will meet again,
On other worlds some
Future time undated.
I defy my body's haste.
Without the promise
Of one more sweet encounter
I will not deign to die.
