Throughout all my life I've only truely loved once.
Eighteen years past, four years late.

In all my time on earth I've never met someone quite like her.
Eighteen years past, four years late.

A smile to melt and a glisten in her dark green eyes.
Eighteen years past, four years late.

I don't think I'll ever find someone like her again.
Eighteen years past, four years late.

I miss, missing her. The bittersweet loss of love.
Eighteen years past, four years late.

I wonder if she knew. That there was a guy out there who would have died for her.
Eighteen years past, four years late.

I keep a photo of her in my wallet. To remind me of better times.
Eighteen years past, four years late.

But now, that all's said and done, all it ever was, was..
Eighteen years past, four years late.

I hope I find someone soon. I really hope it's not another,
Eighteen years past, four years late.

oh! i adore the repeating phrase "eighteen years past, four years late" in your poem. i happen to be a sucker for repeated titles throughout stanzas in poems, it's gut-wrenching and gets your message across like a mantra. the way you captured the sense of loss, yearning, and pining in one body of work, has made me feel all the feels. well done!

[wicked estuary]

Your poem is really powerful. It's clear that you've poured a lot of your emotions into it. The repetition of "Eighteen years past, four years late" creates a strong sense of longing and time passing. You've captured the intensity of your feelings very well. The words "melt" and "glisten" create vivid images of your memories.
