And I Never Recovered

I was young,
I was strong,
I was smart,
I was driven,

Then I saw you
And I never recovered

You were glorious
You were exciting
You were alive
You were perfect

Then I met you
And I never recovered

Even now, with closed eyes
I still remember
Your scent
Your heat

Then we spoke
And I never recovered

I fell,
Into, under,
Your eyes
Your control

Then we kissed
And I never recovered

A future promised
An open vista
A life together
A life lived

But instead you left me
And I never recovered
