My guest, I guessed I knew you;
I was wrong, as I often am,
But fail to admit to.
My guest, you came and went away,
And left me wanting more,
As I have and will, for days.
My guest, I tasted the soul of you,
Guessed at the flavour, and,
Surprised, forgot the golden rule:
To love is, eventually, to lose,
No matter the guest
You guessed you’d choose.

Beautiful!
But it is always better to love than not love.

Thank you! I agree. Love is a wonderful thing—but all wonderful things come with caveats… 😊
