I wish I could remember

I wish i could remember that first day.

first hour, first moment of your meeting me.

if the bright or dim the season it might be

summer or winter for aught i can say

so unrecorded did it slip away

so blind was i to see and to foresee

so dull to mark the building of my tree

that would not blossom yet for many a may

if only i could recollect it such

a day of days! i let it come and go

as traceless as a thaw of bygone snow

ut seened to mean so little meant so much

If only now i could recall that touch

first touch of hand in hand Did one but know.

Love it. I've had this same wish, wanting to have a memento for the future or an inkling /of/ the future on the first meeting. "so unrecorded did it slip away// so blind was i to see and foresee"........"if only i could recollect it such a day of days!" -->especially liked those lines, and the comparison of it being "traceless as a thaw of bygone snow". It's special.
