many, many times it conquered my mind:

      many, many times it conquered my mind:
      the thought of not having known the joy that
      you bequest, the thought of having riddled
      myself at the patterns of incumbent
      love, the dreams that would have been lingering.
      in that I should tell you still of the way
      we loved and liked a lot, and laughed a lot,
      I know I can't cast you out of my thoughts.
      for I shall never forget the moments
      you have lent. I shall never forget the
      care you have heartedly given my dreams
      without which warmth would wade in cold despair.
      i'm sorry we never did really love,
      except for a lifetime of memories.

            Lowell R. Luis
