just under 5 feet, you loomed over my life

by Vere Mantratriad

if there'd been more time
there'd be no space
for memory to expand
and take hold

you'd be but a snapshot
in a thousand page album

The title does really say it all. You have the unique ability to say alot in very few words. Really good write!

yes. i know this feeling well. you've expressed it way more concisely than i ever could though. this poem is the perfect example of how to say a lot without using many words. superb.
