If It Was Love

I stand alone within this passing crowd
I miss you somehow, I feel so much worse
If you turn then you will see me
lingering as you slowly pass me by
One moment was all we ever had
till our lives stole us from each other

Who knows if it was love
or just a symptom of ennui
Wishing for those old memories
to be reborn within someone else
Perhaps we make mistakes
so we appreciate adoration

Over in the vast landscape
Miles of building separate us
I never felt so unsure of myself
since I saw how beautiful you were
Isn't it amazing that we both
look up at the same moon?

It feels so wrong that anyone should be alone

I like the feelings with the imagery and how relatable this poem is. I really like these lines:
"I stand alone within this passing crowd"

"I never felt so unsure of myself
since I saw how beautiful you were
Isn't it amazing that we both
look up at the same moon?"

"It feels so wrong that anyone should be alone"

If it was love...it was all worth it.

I am going through this right now so. I can completely relate. Beautiful heartfelt write that splendidly expresses the transendence of love and the sadness that inevitable comes with it. Touching and remarkable. 100 for this.
