Varying Vistas
An idea in motion
Dreaming a vision
A person to love
In imagination
She loves back
A mind floats
Time passes
Memories hazy
Lost time
Disappearing space
Follow behind
All is over
All is gone

Both sweet and sour
The intermingling flavours
Of love found and lost

I think ‘true love’ in a romantic sense is this way, for many. To me, love is not transient. If it can be killed or if the beloved can be forgotten, it is not ‘true love,’ at least to me. I have even found myself loving former ‘enemies.’ Strange, but true.

Very popular that kind, as is easy to see in much of the poetry posted at WP. But there are also poems about the kind of love you describe (and write).
