Congratulations on a beautiful poetic composition. The message of love is quite prevalent throughout the writing and stirs the reader's heart. Does "If Only I Could" mean she is no longer here? That is the take I have.
I feel there is a loss. As you say once you love it never leaves your heart. The consummation is etched there,

A "SALUTE," Raffaelina!
Thanks for the review, kind words and taking the time to read my work. All of which is an honor. Yes, my wife joined God in August of 2016. She had a blood-clot in her leg. Best wishes for an awesome week and God Bless.
Respectfully with Admiration,
Bill

Comment from Bill Schott
This free verse, If Only I Could, has got to be the best Valentine I've read in years. Your devotion to your wife, now passed to glory, is undoubted and touching. The hidden rhyme occurrences within your verse are happily significant and never gimmicky. Happy day.

Comment from Mackenzie Schmidt
Your poem If Only I could was a well written poem. Because romance poems are so saturated its hard to make a unique poem. There were some cliché lines. I liked your dedication and the picture you used. Your poem seemed to fit the qualifications of the writing prompt.

Comment from A. Willow Bends
This should be showered with stars and I do not have a six. The poetry itself is astoundingly beautiful. I love the internal rhyming that is intertwined within. It is my favorite type free verse and one I use myself from time to time, but the message, the love that is so conveyed in this piece is beyond superior in the way you wrote the piece. This is absolute perfection and beyond. A beautiful, tender piece of work. Great job.

Comment from royowen
The most intense of all love is clearly the most intense of all 5-6 varieties of love, and equally the most unreliable, it precipitates the most passionate of language and the superb metaphors and imagery of the free verse poem, well done, blessings Roy

Comment from rwilliam
Very well written. You did a great job of expressing your love for your wife and how you miss her. The pain of losing a dear one is like no other and unfortunately I know that very well right now.
I pray that we all will be with our Lord and loved ones very soon. In the meantime, I send you prayers and hugs. Blessings on you. Great writing.
